Police have shot and killed two armed robbers who attacked and robbed a mobile money vendor at Tema Community 5, an official statement has said.
According to the police, preliminary investigations reveal that one of the robbers approached the MoMo vendor under the pretext of making a cash-out transaction.
As the vendor retrieved her phone from a bag containing cash, one of the robbers pulled out a pistol and demanded that she surrender the bag.
The victim resisted, prompting the second robber to join in the struggle over the bag. In the course of the struggle, one of the robbers fired a shot, hitting the vendor in the leg and forcing her to release the bag.
A police patrol team that had been deployed for security duties at a nearby event swiftly responded to a distress call, resulting in a shootout with the robbers.
