The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has delivered a significant blow to organized crime in the area, following a precise intelligence-led operation. Authorities have arrested six individuals suspected of being key members of a syndicate linked to a series of robberies and gang rapes in Juaso.

The arrests, carried out on January 8, 2026, mark a crucial step in dismantling the alleged network. The suspects in custody have been identified as:

David Adusah (alias Vibes)

Samuel Amantor (alias Road)

Andrew Odei (alias Salinco)

Sharif Mohammed (alias Isco)

Joseph Addo (alias Moves)

Evidence Points to Organized Crime

Acting on the arrests, police conducted targeted searches of the suspects' residences, unearthing a trove of evidence that suggests a highly organized operation. Items recovered include:

Forty-nine (49) mobile phone covers – indicating a potential volume of stolen property.

A bayonet case and a green military-style dress.

A photograph allegedly showing the group's leader dressed in military camouflage.

A Toyota RAV4 vehicle, which investigators believe was used by the group during their criminal activities. The vehicle has been impounded for further forensic examination.

Legal Proceedings Begin

Following their arrest and initial interrogation—during which police report the suspects admitted involvement—the six individuals were arraigned before the court on Monday, January 12, 2026.

The court has remanded all six suspects into lawful custody. They are scheduled to reappear on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, a timeline that grants the police the necessary window to complete a thorough investigation.

The Ghana Police Service has underscored its commitment to seeing this case through. In an official statement, they assured the public that investigations are actively ongoing. The service vowed that all persons found culpable will be made to face the full rigours of the law, reinforcing a zero-tolerance stance on such violent, coordinated crimes.
