Armed robbers reportedly set up a blockage adjacent to a police barrier at Nweneso No. 1 in Ashanti's Atwima Kwanwoma District, robbing passengers on commercial trucks.
Passengers on four Sprinter buses were allegedly stolen of their goods, according to eyewitnesses.
According to locals, at least four similar events have occurred this year.
At Nweneso No. 1, armed robbers set up a blockade just yards from the police barrier.
The armed guys blocked the Nweneso to Foase route with the help of a broken salon car and some logs to facilitate the heist attempt.
According to several witnesses, the faulty FIAT salon car was seen being towed by a KIA truck hours before the accident.

Four passenger buses were stranded behind the barricade. Victims were robbed of their cash and cell phones while being held at gunpoint.
