Many injured, 2 hospitalized after ‘rambo-style’ robbery in Sandema
In March 2017, several persons were left injured with two hospitalized after four armed robbers stormed a local supermarket at Sandema in the Upper East Region.
The four masked robbers at about 5:30 pm posed as potential customers wanting to purchase goods from the super market, but in a ‘Rambo style’ took attendants hostage, ransacked the supermarket and made away with monies and other valuable items.
