The Accra Regional Police Command has apprehended five suspects believed to be members of a criminal syndicate allegedly involved in armed robbery and landguard operations at Sapeiman Faase in the Greater Accra Region.

The arrests were made on Friday, July 17, 2026, during an intelligence-driven operation carried out jointly by the Accra Regional Police Command and the National Police Intelligence Directorate (NPID).

In a statement released on Monday, July 20, the Police identified the suspects as Torgbui Agah Semaglo, 50, Shadrach Agah Semaglo, 22, William Kweku Sedanu, 21, Cyril Kassenu, 26, and Kingsford Agah Semaglo, 18.

Police investigations indicate that the five are suspected to be part of a criminal network linked to armed robbery and landguard activities in Sapeiman and surrounding communities.

During a search of the suspects’ premises, officers recovered a cache of items, including a pump-action shotgun, a Stoeger ST-R9 pistol, a replica Austria pistol, a jackknife, a face mask, 12 BB cartridges, three rounds of 9mm ammunition, one AK-47 round, a talisman and two kitchen knives.

According to the Police, the suspects are believed to have used the seized weapons and other items to threaten and intimidate residents in the area.
