The notorious robbers according to another eyewitness shot a mobile money vendor and took away an undisclosed amount.

”As at the time I was leaving the scene, the robbers were still firing gunshots while the two police officers were hiding to protect their lives. The Police should have done better to arrest or equally shoot the robbers but they allowed them to attack and rob those who were around” she said.

Some residents who spoke to Abusua FM News expressed shock as to how the Armed Robbers managed to carry out the dastardly act in such a busy area in the full glare of passers-by.
