In a shocking development in Kumasi, four of the six alleged armed robbers were killed in a heavy-handed gunfight with police on Friday night, according to citinewsrooms.

Following a criminal rampage, the armed robbers were challenged by a special police unit in a confrontation that resulted in the deaths of four of them.

Targeting victims in three distinct locations, the criminals had committed multiple heists in the vicinity, according to police records.

In their operations, they robbed people of their personal property and varying amounts of money. The community reportedly experienced dread and panic as a result of the thieves' use of weapons to threaten their victims.


When the police received a tip about their actions, they responded quickly.

The suspects were surrounded by Buffalo team officers, who are renowned for their expertise in managing instances of this nature. Following an effort by the robbers to elude arrest, the police had to shoot back in self-defense, which led to the firefight.



The crooks were overpowered by the authorities as the battle continued.

During the gunfight, four of the suspects were shot and killed; their remains were later recovered from the area. The authorities are currently trying to find the two accomplices who were able to flee.


A police spokesman revealed,

Further damage to the community was avoided thanks to the Buffalo team's prompt response and skillful management of the crisis. It is clear from this operation that such illegal activity will not be accepted. We will keep protecting our citizens, and those who engage in such behavior will be held accountable with the full weight of the law.

The public's reactions to the shootout were a mixture of horror and relief.

Many locals expressed relief that the police took decisive action, but many were also concerned about the degree of violence. A restoration to safety and calm are now desired by local businesses and individuals impacted by the robbery spree.

Police have reassured the public that they are determined to enforce the law and that the search for the two surviving suspects is still ongoing.

"Until the remaining criminals are apprehended and brought to justice," the spokesperson said in closing.
