The Ghana Police Service has arrested two suspects in connection with a robbery that occurred at Spintex in Accra on September 14, 2025.
Director-General of the Police CID, COP Lydia Yaako Donkor, confirmed the arrests in a briefing.
“On 14th September 2025, the GPS received the report of a robbery at the residence of a 35-year-old man at Spintex in Accra,” she said.
“At about 3:25 a.m., two armed men broke into the house and robbed the complainant of gold jewelry, a laptop, wristwatches, handbags, clothing, and cash. The amount taken included $5,000 and GHS21,645,” she added.
Police officers arrived at the scene shortly after the incident. “A machete, a metal cutter, and a T-shirt believed to have been left behind by the suspects were retrieved for evidential purposes. The crime scene was documented and investigations commenced immediately,” COP Donkor stated.
Acting on intelligence, the police on September 18 arrested 26-year-old Prince Opoku, also known as Agyenkwa, together with Nigerian national Jennifer Nweke, at Adenta.
“A search conducted on them revealed some of the stolen items including jewelry, mobile phones, and large sums of cash,” she disclosed.
The suspects later led investigators to their hideout at Abokobi, where additional stolen items belonging to the victim were recovered.
“During interrogation, suspect Opoku admitted his involvement in the crime and mentioned one Mensah, alias Taller, as his accomplice and leader of the operation,” COP Donkor revealed.
She noted that the police are pursuing other suspects. “Strenuous efforts are currently underway to trace and arrest other suspects who are currently on the run to face justice.”
