The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested three suspects linked to a violent robbery network operating in Obuasi.
The arrests took place on February 15, 2026, following an intelligence-led operation at Mangoase near Pokukrom, during which police raided multiple gang hideouts.
The suspects – Aziz Abubakar (aka Romeo), Faraway Amari, and Patient Asare – were taken into custody. Officers recovered a pump-action gun with ammunition, machetes, a bayonet, combat boots, one 9mm round, and GH¢20,000, believed to be proceeds of criminal activities.

Investigations indicate that two of the suspects are connected to the March 2025 killing of three individuals at Breme near Bechem. Police continue efforts to apprehend other accomplices and recover additional weapons.
