The police have released CCTV images of the two suspects who allegedly stole US$1,600 from a forex bureau within the Accra Mall on Monday (27 February 2023).
A statement issued by the police on Monday said the two individuals have been declared wanted.
The two suspects, according to the victim, entered the forex bureau under the pretext of changing some money but managed to steal some dollars from the counter on the blind side of the attendant.
“Upon realising that the money had been stolen, the attendant went after them but the two sat in a waiting vehicle and drove off,” the statement added.
The police said they have commenced investigation into the incident and called on the public, “especially operators of forex bureau to be vigilant and where necessary report any suspicious activities to the police, as this could be a new approach adopted by criminals to steal from unsuspecting persons.”
The public is being urged to reach out to the police on 0200416540 with any relevant information that could lead to the arrest of the suspects.
