Fresh bullion van heist on Kasoa-Winneba road
Crime
Shattered window of the bullion van
There has been a second bullion van heist less than a week after the first one at Adedenkpo in James Town, Accra.
The latest incident happened at Gomoa Okyereko on Thursday, 17 June 2021.
The armed robbers shot through the windscreen of the van aiming at the police escort.
The van sped off as the policeman called for reinforcement.
Nobody in the van got hurt.
Nothing was also stolen from it.
The Winneba Police Patrol team gun-battled the robbers at Mpata Junction but they fled the scene.
Unlike the latest one, the James Town incident resulted in the death of the police escort and a hawker.
Also, a policeman, Lance Corporal Martin Babah, was killed while on a bullion van escort duty on the Adansi Fomena road in the Ashanti Region not too long ago by about 10 armed men.
