Police kill suspected armed robber at Shiashie, others arrested

Police gunned down a suspected armed robber and arrested two others at Shiashie near the Ghana Standards Authority Head office in Accra, Friday afternoon.

The alleged robbers, reports say were escaping after an operation in the area in Toyota Camry and Corolla vehicles.

They were coming from either the Airport or Dzorwulu area, driving on the Legon-Airport stretch at top speed, smashing into other cars.

But luck eluded them when they got to the Ghana Standards Authority traffic lights, as cars coming from Madina had blocked the road and so they were caught in the traffic.

The robbers sensing danger then fired at the police officers who also returned fire killing one armed robber instantly while the rest were arrested.
