Armed robbers attack Forex Bureau

Armed robbers on Wednesday morning attacked the KC Forex Bureau at the Awudome roundabout and took away one of the two safes in the office.

They, however, abandoned it around Kotobabi. Chief Inspector Kwadwo Bosompem, station officer of the Kaneshie Police Station, told the GNA that at about 0430, a securityman at the forex bureau reported to the police that armed robbers had attacked it and shot one of his colleagues in the leg.

Chief Inspector Bosompem said a policeman on duty around the area who heard the shots crawled to the scene and managed to shoot at the vehicle in which the robbers were escaping.

He said the robbers got away since the vehicle was too far, making it difficult for the policeman to get a clear shot.

Chief Inspector Bosompem said the injured securityman has been sent to the Police Hospital.
