The Ghana Police Service has successfully apprehended three suspects following a swift investigation into an armed robbery at a residence in Kwabenya, Greater Accra. On January 18, 2026, the suspects allegedly targeted a private home, making off with high-value electronics and a significant sum of cash. The suspects, identified by law enforcement as Francis Amo, Anthony Boateng, and Musah Ibrahim, were taken into custody shortly after the incident. This arrest marks a significant breakthrough for the regional police command in their ongoing efforts to curb residential crimes in the capital's burgeoning suburbs.
According to official police reports, the robbery involved the theft of several premium items, including two iPhone 17 Pro Max devices, a gold necklace, an Apple Watch, and a car key. The financial impact on the victims was considerable, as the perpetrators also escaped with physical currency totaling GH"14,000 and US$300. Following their arrest, the trio reportedly confessed to their involvement in the operation. Investigative leads further directed officers to the residence of Anthony Boateng, where they recovered one of the stolen iPhones and various weapons believed to have been used during the commission of the crime.
The successful apprehension of these suspects underscores the commitment of the Ghana Police Service to improving security in residential areas that have seen a heightened focus on safety in recent months. As the investigation remains active, the police are working to recover the remaining stolen assets and are exploring potential links between these individuals and other unsolved robberies in the Greater Accra region. Authorities continue to urge the public to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities, reaffirming their resolve to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of citizens within their homes.
