Police in Accra have said they are seriously pursuing three persons for allegedly robbing a 33-year old woman of GH₵ 29,000 on Monday, September 20, 2021, at gunpoint at Apenkwa.
Police say the victim escaped unhurt but a bystander sustained some injuries and is responding to treatment.
Reports on the incident on Monday indicate that the robbers, who were on a motorbike, trailed the woman from the Universal Merchant Bank, Abeka Branch where she had withdrawn an amount of money and robbed her.
While demanding the money from the woman, reports indicate the robbers mistook an oncoming motor rider for a police officer and shot at him.
For fear of getting the motor rider who was shot for the second time killed amid warning shots, the woman handed over the money to the robbers who then bolted on their motorbike from the scene, the reports stated.
