Youth of Apentubuom, a community in the Bosome-Freho District of the Ashanti Region, have reported razed down a vehicle that was allegedly used by some soldiers to rob a gold dealer.

A viral video from the scene of the incident, which was shared by Edhub on X on November 27, 2023, showed the vehicle that was allegedly used for the robbery before and after it was burnt.

The vehicle, a Mitsubishi Pajero, had the registration number, GS 3236-17.

One of the men who took the video can be heard saying that the robbers abandoned the vehicle after they could no longer move due to a massive pothole on the road.
