This prompted the police to detail some personnel to the area and at about 2200 hours on February 1, this year, Master Tetteh who had then been sent by his sister to buy some drugs from a pharmacy shop fell victim to the accused persons.
Inspector Otchere said the accused persons pulled knives, forcibly dipped their hands in his pocket and removed all the monies so he cried loudly and pleaded with them to leave some to buy some of the drugs which they obliged but warned him not to pass the area at that time again.
He said Master Tetteh informed his sister about the ordeal and lodged a complaint with the Ashaiman police.
