The exhibits
AT LEAST three suspects have been confirmed dead while others sustained various degrees of injury following a shoot-out that occurred between some armed robbers and police officers in Tema.
The incident, which occurred on July 21, 2025, was a result of a distress call regarding armed men numbering about ten engaging in a warehouse robbery at the Tema Industrial Area.
In a statement by the Head of Public Affairs, Tema Regional Police Command, ASP Dede Dzakpasu noted that following the call by some residents concerning the ongoing robbery, the police patrol team that responded to the call confronted the suspects, leading to an exchange of gunfire.
ASP Dede Dzakpasu confirmed that three of the suspects were shot in the process and had been pronounced dead, adding that the remaining suspects, some of whom are believed to have sustained gunshot wounds, had fled the scene.
Exhibits recovered from them include a Bruni mode foreign pistol, a double-barreled locally manufactured pistol with two rounds of ammunition, and two live BB ammunition.
“The bodies have been deposited at the Police Hospital Morgue for identification, preservation, and autopsy while investigations are ongoing to arrest the remaining suspects. We would like to commend officers of the Kpone District Command for the timely response,” part of the statement read.
