Some armed robbers have placed notices on the doors of residents in Kasoa in the Central region warning them of further attacks.

The move by the robbers follows the lynching of some thieves in the area in recent times.

Parts of Kasoa, especially Amanfrom have experienced incessant robbery attacks over the past one month.

Meanwhile, the Police in Kasoa have launched investigations into threats of attacks on residents of the area from the robbers.

The Kasoa Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent Samuel Winful wants residents to assist them with information in containing the attacks.

“Police cannot use magic to get the armed robbers, it is information that we thrive on, so if they [residents] are not ready to give us the information it would be very difficult to arrest all the armed robbers,” Supt. Winful said.

The Police have also warned the residents of Kasoa to desist from meting out instant justice to suspected armed robbers.
