Police pursue two suspects for stealing $1,600 at Accra Mall

Police in Accra are on a manhunt for two suspects who allegedly stole an amount of $1,600 from a forex bureau at the Accra Mall this afternoon.

The two, according to the victim, entered the forex bureau under the pretext of converting currency but managed to steal some dollars from the counter of the bureau on the blind side of the attendant.

Upon realising that the money had been stolen, the attendant went after them, but the two sat in a waiting vehicle and drove off.

However, they were captured by the Closed-circuit television (CCTV) installed at the forex bureau.

A statement from the Ghana Police Service has confirmed the incident and added that an “investigation is underway to get the suspected thieves arrested to face justice”.

“We would like to urge the general public, especially operators of forex bureaux, to be vigilant and, where necessary, report any suspicious activities to the police, as this could be a new approach adopted by criminals to steal from unsuspecting persons,” the police releases added.

Anyone with relevant information on the suspects should contact 0200416540 for further police action.
