Two suspects are in the custody of the Asankragua police in the Western Region, assisting with investigations into an attempted robbery.
The suspects, identified as Mohammed Abdul-Salam, 28, and Karim Yakubu, 42, were spotted hiding in a bush along a road.
A press release issued by the Police said the pair attempted to flee upon noticing a police patrol team, prompting swift action from the officers.
The suspects were pursued to an abandoned mining site, where they jumped into a muddy pit to evade capture.
“However, the Police officers managed to rescue them from the pit and successfully arrested them,” the release stated.
A search conducted at the time of the arrest led to the recovery of a shotgun, three AAA cartridges, and a Nokia keypad mobile phone.
