Three arrested over Kwabenya home robbery

Police say three suspects have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery at Kwabenya in the Greater Accra Region, after an operation by the Surveillance Unit of the National Operations Directorate.

According to the Ghana Police Service, the robbery took place on 18 January 2026, when two armed men attacked a residence in the area and stole high-value items, including two iPhone 17 Pro Max phones, a gold necklace and an Apple Watch.

Police said the attackers also took GH¢14,000 in cash, a car key and US$300. The victim was further forced to log out of his iCloud account from one of the stolen devices, investigators said.

The suspects were named as Francis Amo, also known as Agogo; Anthony Boateng, alias Aisha Kojo; and Musah Ibrahim, alias Coded, who police believe acted as a receiver. Police say the three have admitted their roles in the robbery.

Investigators say they have recovered one iPhone 17 Pro Max, an Apple Watch and a Samsung Fold phone.

Police also said a search at Anthony Boateng’s residence uncovered several weapons and items they described as offensive, including a truncheon, a short machete, knives, scissors, lighters and a face shield.

The suspects remain in custody and are assisting with investigations, while police say efforts are ongoing to retrieve the remaining stolen items and identify any additional suspects linked to the case.
