OUR MANIFESTO: This is what YEN.com.gh believes in
In the wee hours of today, on February 13, 2021, Esiama Police foiled a robbery attempt at the Ecobank Esiama branch in the West region when they responded to a distress call according to which thieves, numbering about five, had attacked the bank.
Police went to the scene where the thieves opened fire upon seeing police. Police retaliated, causing the thieves to flee into a nearby bush.
Police rescued a private bank security guard and another who was on duty at an adjacent ECG office (names of security officers withheld).

Their hands had been tied behind them and their legs also tied with ropes. The police chose an AK 47 assault rifle with a soaked serial number and 28 live cartridges from the direction of the bush where the thieves are fleeing.
Other salvaged items included an industrial cutter, crowbar, screwdrivers, damaged padlocks, and four used BB shells.
Police observed, among other things, that armed thieves damaged the burglar-proof protection and the glass door leading to the banking hall. Although the thieves were given access to the banking room, they were unsuccessful in their operation due to the timely intervention of the police.
Meanwhile, a search has been organized to arrest them and we urge residents of Esiama and surrounding villages to report suspicious figures, especially those with gunshot wounds to hospitals, clinics and herbalists for treatment.
