VIDEO: Armed Robbers Steal Sacks of Money in Broad Daylight Attack at Adabraka
A brazen daylight robbery unfolded near Adabraka Market in Accra on Saturday, November 2, as gunmen allegedly made off with sacks of cash. The alarming incident, captured on video, shows four masked and heavily armed assailants confronting a man in a red Toyota Corolla parked close to the market.
In the video, the robbers are seen firing warning shots, sending nearby residents scrambling for cover. The gunmen reportedly demanded the man open his car’s trunk before seizing bags of money from the vehicle, as well as nearby shops, spending only a few minutes in their swift heist.
“We deal in gold here, and we heard a loud noise, realizing it was a sporadic shooting,” an eyewitness shared with Citi Newsroom. “We locked our gates and hid, but saw them carrying bags of money. It was over so quickly; I’m still in shock.”
Another witness added, “Several gold dealer shops are here. One shop owner had bags of money in his car, and the robbers approached him as he parked. They grabbed the bags and bolted in their Toyota Highlander. This is the second time such an incident has happened here.” Witnesses noted that the robbers spread cash into the air, possibly to distract onlookers, before making their getaway.
Police arrived at the scene shortly after the robbers had fled. The investigation into the incident is ongoing.
