Kumasi, Oct. 31, GNA- Business activities at Adom Mmoroso cold store at Asafo in Kumasi returned to normal on Wednesday morning after a dramatic daylight robbery attack on the Company the previous day. A visit by the Ghana News Agency to the Company's premises revealed that business was going on briskly, as fish mongers and traders were seen busily buying and selling.
However, armed police officers were seen positioned at vantage points in the Company's premises to provide security. Management of the Company was also said to be having close door meeting with security chiefs from the regional CID, who had gone to the premises to assess the situation.
A sales executive of the Company told the GNA that, everything was normal and business was going on as usual. He said the Company had beefed up its security to prevent any possible reprisal attacks.
Five armed gangs on Tuesday morning attacked the cold store company in an attempt to rob it, but the bravery of a police constable on duty thwarted their efforts.
A gun battle that ensued resulted in the death of one of the robbers and injury to four persons including the police officer. The remaining robbers sensing danger recoiled and managed to escape in a Nissan Primera taxicab, which they brought for the operation. The police later impounded the vehicle and retrieved five locally made pistols and machetes from it.
The body of the dead armed robber had been deposited at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital's (KATH's) mortuary while the injured ones are on admission at hospitals for treatment. The police are continuing with its investigations.
