Two suspected robbers were shot and killed during a crossfire with personnel from the anti-robbery unit of the Ghana Police Service, an official statement said.
The four-member gang reportedly engaged the officers in a gun battle after robbing residents of Kalba, a community in the Savannah Region on Sunday morning leading to the killing of the two.
It is gathered that the suspects had engaged in an operation in the area on Tuesday, December 9, 2021, that targeted a mobile money vendor and resulted in the killing of two people.
A police spokesperson in the Savannah Region told the CNR that initial evidence gathered suggest the suspects were involved in that attack, hence launched a serious manhunt for them.
The bodies of the two suspected robbers have been deposited at the West Gonja Catholic hospital morgue in Damongo. A police statement also said there is a serious manhunt for the other suspects.
The Sawla township was thrown into a state of shock on Tuesday following the killing of two people by armed robbers.
The robbers attacked a mobile money vendor and a phone shop at about 12:00pm, and made away with an undisclosed amount of money.
They later shot and killed two young people who gave them a chase in the outskirts of the Sawla township.
