Authorities in Ghana have made a significant breakthrough in the investigation into last week’s armed robbery at a gold shop in Mpohor.
During routine patrols near the Aputuoagya to Bekwai road, officers from the Kuntanase District intercepted a suspicious vehicle. The subsequent discovery of a cache of weapons and evidence inside the abandoned vehicle has provided crucial leads in the case.
