The Ghana Police Service has arrested a suspect believed to be involved in the GH₵ 7.5 million daytime robbery at a jewellery shop in Adabraka last year.
Addressing the press on Wednesday, December 31, the Director General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), DCOP Lydia Yaako Donkor, described the arrest as a significant breakthrough in the case.
DCOP Donkor explained that the suspect, identified as Ali Mohammed, also known as “Bawasam”, was apprehended on November 20, 2025, at a hospital in Ashaiman, where he had sought medical attention.
Preliminary investigations, according to the police, indicate that “the suspect and his accomplices, armed with AK-47 assault rifles, intercepted a vehicle conveying proceeds from a jewellery transaction to the bank. They fired multiple shots to disperse onlookers, injuring the driver, before fleeing with the cash.”
The police added that they are continuing efforts to arrest the remaining accomplices and recover the stolen money.
