Two foreign-made firearms used by the criminals for the operation were also recovered, according to a police document that confirmed the arrest.
Tanguani and Oga Boakye, two more major members of the gang, are currently on the run, and the police are doing everything they can to apprehend them and bring them to justice.
According to the report, on April 14, 2022, four hoodlums raided the Goil Filling Station in Abrepo Kesse, fled with their loot, and went into hiding until they were apprehended on May 10, 2022.
“The Ashanti Regional Police Intelligence Unit nabbed Baba Macho and Yaw Anin, two of the four suspects in the Abrepo Kesse gasoline station robbery.
“On May 10, 2022, suspects were apprehended in an intelligence-led operation from their hideouts.
Tanguani and Oga Boakye, two additional gang members, are currently on the run, according to a police statement.
