Armed robbers attacked filling station at Suhum
Suhum, June 26, Ghanadot/GNA
- Armed robbers last Monday attacked the Uniqui Petrol
Filling Station at Suhum and allegedly made away with GHC
8,063.27 being the day’s sale of fuel.
Mr. Benjamin Owusu, Manager of the station, told the Ghana
News Agency that the armed robbers numbering about 12,
mostly youths, invaded the station at about 1930 hours in
four different cars.
He said the robbers wielding AK47 riffles took the sales
boys and girls’ hostage, forced the main door of the office
opened, and took the money away.
Mr Owusu said two security guards on duty at the filling
station - Jackson Atuah and Iddrisu Mohammed, were severely
beaten up by the robbers when they attempted to struggle
with them.
He said a distress call was made to a police patrol team,
but the robbers managed to flee with their booty before the
team arrived at the scene.
Meanwhile, three of the sales boys and girls, Carolina
Kwakyewaa, Joyce Yeboah and Sampson Ntow who were also
beaten by the robbers, were treated and discharged at the
Suhum Government Hospital.
The Suhum police had confirmed the story and said the case
was being investigated.
