A robbery that occurred at Wassa Ntwitina in the Wassa Amenfi East Municipality and resulted in the deaths of three people is being looked into by the Western South Police Command.

A few minutes after selling his gold on Wednesday night about 7 o'clock, the thieves attacked the man, who was identified only as Red.

He reportedly fought the thieves, but the criminals ultimately won the battle and shot and killed him.

One person who works with the gold dealer came to the scene after hearing the gunshot but was also shot.

After these shootings, the robbers picked up gold and money in the office.

Upon seeing that community folks were coming after them, the robbers shot into the crowd, and one man in a "trotro" on his way to Dunkwa was killed by a stray bullet.

A special police team comprising investigation, intelligence, and operational officers has been deployed to beef up security in the town and surrounding communities.
