The Ashanti Regional Police Command has arrested four suspected armed robbers in connection with a robbery incident that occurred at Kunsu on December 7, 2025.
The arrest follows intelligence-led operations aimed at dismantling a criminal syndicate believed to be responsible for a series of robberies in Kunsu and nearby communities.
The suspects were apprehended on January 21, 2026, at about 10:00 p.m. by personnel of the Regional Anti-Robbery Unit in Kumasi, working in collaboration with officers from the Surveillance Unit of the National Operations Directorate at Police Headquarters in Accra.
The coordinated operation was carried out at Kunsu in the Ashanti Region.
The arrested individuals have been identified as Yahaya Siedu, also known as “Diamond” (34); Atta Israel, alias “Abode3/Stone” (32); Victor Gyan, alias “City Boy” (26); and Stanley Wiafe Akanten, alias “Figo” (30).
Police investigations indicate that the suspects are members of an organized criminal group involved in multiple robbery cases targeting miners.
A search conducted in the room of Yahaya Siedu led to the recovery of two pump-action guns, three cutlasses, five mobile phones, twenty-two BB cartridges, and an amount of GHS 5,400.
One of the firearms, a Pardus shotgun, was confirmed to have been stolen during the December 7 robbery along the Kunsu–Mankranso road.
The suspects have reportedly admitted to conspiring to rob miners of cash, gold concentrate, and other valuables.
They are currently in police custody assisting with ongoing investigations.
