The robbers pulled Mr. Sargborgor out of the vehicle, collected his mobile phone and the day's sales and drove away.

Mr Gasu said on May 3 the Good Samaritan, whose is withheld for security reasons, rang the police at Winneba and informed them of a suspected abandoned vehicle at Sakumono Estates at Tema that has Winneba address on it.

The police and the driver went to the spot and found the vehicle. Mr Gasu appealed to the public to emulate the example of the Good Samaritan and cooperate with the police.
