The identity of the money’s owner, who has fallen victim to a series of robberies, remains unknown.

The suspects, all students from schools in the Nkwanta South municipal area, are currently in police custody, assisting with the investigation.
Their ages range from 13 to 17 years. According to the girls, they are part of a gang that has been monitoring the owner.
They would only act when he was away from the house during school breaks.

The police are urging the public to provide any information that could assist with the ongoing investigation.
