Daylight heist: Armed robbers escape with massive cash in Adabraka raid (VIDEO)

A shocking incident unfolded at Adabraka Market in Accra on Saturday, November 2, 2024, as gunmen fired multiple times to rob innocent buyers.

Four men, heavily armed and masked, attacked a man in a red Toyota Corolla parked near the busy market.

According to eyewitnesses, the robbers approached the car and fired multiple shots into the air to disperse the crowd.

Shoppers and vendors scrambled for cover, ducking behind stalls and rushing to safety as gunfire echoed through the market.

The robbers forced their way into the Toyota and grabbed large sacks of cash packed into the car.

Within minutes, they loaded the bags into their getaway vehicle and fled the scene, still firing shots to keep bystanders at bay.

An eyewitness recounted, “We deal in gold here, and we heard a loud noise. We realised it was a sporadic shooting. I can’t even talk; I’m surprised. We hid and locked our gate, but they didn’t come to our end. We heard them saying open the booth, and we saw them carrying bags of money from some of the shops. They spent some few minutes.”.

Another eyewitness said, “There are several gold dealer shops here, so one of the owners of the shops had bags containing money in his Toyota Corolla. Immediately after he landed, the robbers approached the car and took the money away. This is the second time such an incident has happened. The police came in late; by the time they arrived, the armed robbers had bolted with the bags of money in their Toyota Highlander. They fired multiple gunshots. They spread some money in the air to distract onlookers’ attention and to scare them away.”.

The video of the robbery attack was captured by some onlookers. It shows the gunmen’s swift, coordinated movements and the terror that swept through the market.
