A bullion van belonging to Gocrest Security Services, carrying a large amount of money suspected to belong to the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB) was Friday looted after it was involved in a motor accident at about 2:00p.m.The accident occurred at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle near the Vodafone Headquarters in Accra.A mob besieged the accident scene and looted cash stashed in the van with registration number GW 1847 S moments after it was hit by a Kumasi-bound VIP Yutong bus on the driver’s side.The bus, whose number is not readily known, according to the Accra Regional Crime Officer, Emmanuel Frank Adufati, did not stop after the accident.A signal has therefore been sent across the various checkpoints on the Accra-Kumasi road to intercept the bus if spotted.The bullion van was from the ADB branch at Cedi House where it was loaded with huge sums of money and was on its way to Achimota.When it got to somewhere after the Nkrumah Circle roundabout, towards the Vodafone offices, the VIP bus, in an attempt to over-take it, veered off its lane and hit the van, causing it to topple and somersault.According to an eyewitness, the bullion van somersaulted four times before landing on the other side of the road, leaving it open with some of the money- bundles of GH¢50 notes scattered on the streets. This attracted onlookers to scramble for the cash.
