A violent robbery has been reported at Wassa Dompoase in the Amenfi East Municipality of the Western Region, where seven armed individuals targeted a gold buyer’s establishment.
The recalcitrants made off with two sacks filled with money and gold.
According to information obtained by EDHUB, the incident took place around 1 p.m. yesterday at Humble Gold Buying Enterprise.
Three shopkeepers were present when the robbers, armed with guns and knives, barged in and demanded the keys to the safe containing money and gold.
One of the shopkeepers, suspected by the robbers to have the keys, denied possessing them and was subsequently shot twice.
He is now in critical condition at the hospital. The other two shopkeepers sustained injuries from gunshots and knife stabs during the ordeal but are reported to be in stable condition.
Despite the shopkeepers’ resistance, the robbers successfully obtained the keys and fled the scene with two sacks of gold and money.
The police have launched a manhunt to capture the perpetrators of this brazen attack.
