The Ghana Police Service has assured the general public that two of its Officers fingered in major Bullion van robberies in Greater Accra will face justice.

The Police on Monday, revealed that two of its men were involved in the four attacks. However, the Police did not mention names of the alleged culprits involved as the investigation is still ongoing.

“The Ghana Police Service after several months of painstaking intelligence-led operations at the highest level has made a major breakthrough in the investigations into multiple Van robberies recorded in Greater Accra.”

“Preliminary investigations have been able to establish the involvement of two policemen and some other suspects.”

According to the Service, other suspects were apprehended in bullion van attacks that occurred at Kingsway, Baatsona, Jamestown and North Kaneshie (Industrial Area) between 2021 and 2022.

In an interview with Citi News, the Director-General in charge of Police Public Affairs, DCOP Kwesi Ofori said thorough investigations have begun into the crimes and in the appropriate time they will release the outcome of the investigations to the Public.

“The police administration will not protect anyone who does wrong in the service. We have got two of our own and investigations are ongoing seriously. At the appropriate time, we will come out clearly with the information. The public should see this as a plan of policing ourselves and dealing with our own in such unfortunate situations. We will ensure that we will carry the spirit and aspirations in terms of protection and better security.”
