A robbery gang has shot and killed people at Wassa Ntwetwena in the Wassa Amenfi East Municipality in the Western Region.

The incident occurred on Wednesday.

This was at a time the robbers, numbering about six, reportedly attacked a gold buying shop in the area and fired indiscriminately.

The victims, according to witnesses, included the gold dealer, his friend and a passerby.

The bodies have been deposited at the morgue for preservation.

Meanwhile, the Police have launched a manhunt for the robbers.

This comes a few days after the police arrested four persons who attacked a fuel filling station and murdered a security guard on Saturday at Wassa Agona in the Western Region.

A Special Anti-Robbery squad arrested the suspects while they were fleeing the robbery scene.
