Two employees busted for plotting robbery against employer

Two employees of a company in North Kaneshie, Accra, have been arrested by the Special Support Unit of the Ghana Police Service for allegedly plotting to rob their employer during a planned cash transfer.

The suspects, identified as Joseph Danso (also known as Nana Yaw) and Fauzan Alhassan, were apprehended on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, while trailing a company dispatch rider transporting funds to a bank in Abossey Okai.

According to a statement on the Ghana Police Service’s official Facebook page, intelligence had revealed that the duo, along with two other accomplices—Frankie and Asante—were planning to intercept the money mid-transfer.

Acting swiftly on the tip-off, police mounted a surveillance operation, which led to the on-the-spot arrest of Danso and Alhassan.

During interrogation, the suspects confessed to their roles in the scheme and disclosed the identities of their accomplices, prompting a manhunt for the remaining members of the group.

Both men are currently in custody and assisting investigators.

The police have reassured the public that efforts are ongoing to apprehend all those involved and ensure justice is served.
