Two armed robbers were, on Thursday, 23 April 2020 shot dead by the police at Tema after a fire exchange.
The criminals had succeeded in robbing a Lebanese businessman of some GHS100,000 he withdrew from a Zenith Bank branch but a hot chase by the police resulted in an exchange of gunshots which led to their demise.
Narrating the incident to journalists, the Tema Regional Police Commander, ACP Kissi Frimpong, said: “There was this businessman who had gone to the Zenith Bank Community One [branch] to withdraw over GHS100,000.
“As he left the bank, two robbers on a motorbike shot at his tyres and succeeded in taking the money away.
“An alarm was raised and information got to the police and our patrol team pursued them and eventually killed the two of them through the exchange of fire.
“The money also scattered on the street; people scrambled for the money and the person had only GHS2,500 out of the over GHS100,000 he withdrew from the bank.”
ACP Frimpong said the bodies of the robbers have been sent to the police hospital morgue for further action.

SENIORMAN i suspect you are ndc man, your mdntality is as rusted as ndc how can you praise armed robbers in any case out if your 30% in this election 2 are dead and more to come. Send your armed robbers and goroboys to misbehave and they will get killed. Politics is about ideas, policies, visions and programs what to do to help your country not your country helping you and not power at all cost. Ndc think Ghana belong to them and they will weep at the bad side of their mouth, ***barred word*** doesn't win power but knowledge and wisdom which ndc lack so that party will rot in opposition.
Sometimes i feel very sorry for my country Ghana. Who withdraws more than $20,000 in cash? This is the year 2020, not 1920. What is the purpose of the internet? Is not just for ***barred word*** gossip on social media. Is for internet banking as well. WAKE UP GHANA.
