The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service has arrested two suspects believed to be behind a violent robbery and carjacking incident that occurred at Mpatasie, near St Anthony Hospital, in the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n

In a statement released by the Police Service, the suspects have been identified as Issaka Jamal, aged 30, and Kwadwo Badu, aged 40. <\/p>\n

They were apprehended on Saturday, November 8 after a dramatic chase along the Ofankor\u2013St John\u2019s stretch of the Accra\u2013Nsawam Highway. <\/p>\n

Police say the two attempted to flee but were subdued following a brief exchange, during which one sustained a gunshot wound and the other suffered minor injuries. Both are currently receiving treatment at the Police Hospital in Accra.<\/p>\n

Preliminary investigations indicate that on November 7, the suspects and their accomplices attacked two occupants of an unregistered silver Hyundai Tucson (DV-5357-Z) at Mpatasie. <\/p>\n
