The Central Regional Police Command has commenced a manhunt for suspected armed men who attempted to rob road users around Winneba on the Accra-Cape Coast highway.<\/p>\n
The robbers, who blocked a section of the highway between Gomoa Nyamebekyere and Gomoa\u00a0Potsin around 2:00a.m. on Monday fled upon hearing the police approaching the crime scene.<\/p>\n
They had stopped vehicles on the stretch with the aim of robbing the passengers of their valuables.<\/p>\n
According to the police, the robbers shot and injured a young man aged about 28 years, who was driving his private car.<\/p>\n
The victim is said to be receiving treatment at the Trauma and Specialist Hospital at Winneba in the Central Region.<\/p>\n
The Police said no arrest has been made yet.<\/p>\n
They, therefore, appealed to the public to provide them with information that will lead to the arrest of the suspected robbers who are currently at large.<\/p>\n
The Accra-Cape Coast stretch of the highway had, until Monday, been relatively crime-free.<\/p>\n
The low crime record has been due to the establishment of night police checkpoints dotted along the highway.<\/p>\n
Although there are checkpoints close to the crime scene, the robbers found a way to commence their action on the blind side of the officers.<\/p>\n
