Tema, Dec 29, GNA- Armed robbers in the early hours of Sunday attacked the premises of SGS Company Limited in Tema, and wounded a security officer of the company.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Monday, the Tema Regional Crime Officer, Superintendent Dogbeda said on the night of December 28, six men armed with guns and cutlasses attacked security men of the company.

They locked them up in an iron container and ransacked all departments of the company.

He said the victim, who was then not around, tried to prevent the robbers but they attacked him with the cutlass and fell unconscious. Information later got to the Police and when they got to the scene the robbers had left. The police found drawers opened, files ransacked and one laptop computer missing.

Mr Dogbeda said since the company was on break for the Christmas the Police are yet to find from them items stolen and the cost involved. He said no arrest has been made but suspected an "insider" because the security men should have pressed the company's alarm system at the time when the robbers arrived.

The victim, who had several cutlass wounds on his heard and body, is responding to treatment.
