A mobile money vendor in Atwima Koforidua suffered a significant loss after being robbed of GHS 55,000 on Monday.
The brazen daylight theft occurred as the victim was returning to their stall from the bank.
Two individuals on a motorbike, who had apparently been following the vendor, approached under the guise of customers. While one distracted the victim, the other snatched the bag containing the money and fled.
Local authorities have launched an investigation into the incident as residents express growing concern over the escalating crime rate in the area.
