The Ghana Police Service, through its Criminal Investigations Department (CID), has arrested five members of a notorious phone-snatching and armed robbery syndicate operating in parts of Accra and Tema.

Intelligence-led investigations revealed that the syndicate was involved in street, residential, and workplace robberies across Oyibi, Appolonia, Spintex, Airport Residential Area, East Legon Hills, Zenu Atadeka, Ashaiman, and Kasoa.

Briefing journalists in Accra on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, DCOP Lydia Yaako Donkor, Director-General of the CID, described the arrests as a significant breakthrough in curbing high-profile robberies.

“The suspects: Seth Tetteh Noi, also known as Wonder; Emmanuel Selasi Monyekor; Abdul Fatao Sameed; Karam Fatao; and Abdul Jamel Mohammed, were arrested at their hideouts on December 24 and 26, 2025, during separate intelligence-driven operations,” she said.

Coordinated police operations at Ashaiman China Mall and Kasoa led to searches that recovered one pistol and a pump-action gun, believed to have been used in several robbery incidents.

Investigations linked the gang to a violent robbery on mourners at Ashaiman Under Bridge, where victims attending a funeral were robbed of cash and valuables totaling over GH₵200,000.

Additional intelligence also helped police foil another planned robbery at Ashaiman China Mall, resulting in further arrests and disrupting the syndicate’s operations.
