Suspected armed robbers have attacked a cocoa depot at Fomena in the Ashanti Region, making off with over GH₵1 million.
The bandits also stole mobile phones and shot at the vehicle of the depot manager before fleeing the scene.
According to MyNewsGh.com, the robbery occurred on Thursday evening at approximately 6:20 PM.
The masked robbers, numbering four and armed with AK-47 assault rifles, stormed the Agro Ecom Company Limited Cocoa Depot at Adansi Ansah.
They reportedly shot at a GMC Terrain 2 vehicle, registration number GS 9576-22, which belonged to the District Officer.
Police were immediately notified about the ongoing robbery. However, before they arrived at the scene, the robbers had escaped into a nearby bush with their loot, leaving no trace of their whereabouts.
A combined team of police personnel from New Edubiasi and Adansi Fomena has launched a manhunt for the suspects, who are believed to be hiding in neighboring communities.
