Police are on a manhunt for two young girls, believed to be between the ages of 10 and 16, who are suspected of stealing GHS 40,000 and gold from a gold-buying agent at Twifo Praso in the Twifo Atti Morkwa District of the Central Region.
Reports and CCTV footage shared on social media indicate that the two girls visited the shop around 11 a.m. yesterday to purchase mercury for gold extraction.
Upon arriving and realizing that the shop attendant was away, the older girl quickly searched a drawer and stole GHS 40,000 and an unspecified quantity of gold.
As the girls were leaving the shop, they encountered the attendant at the entrance. They then returned inside to complete the purchase of mercury.
It wasn’t until two hours later, when another customer came in to sell gold, that the shop attendant discovered the money and gold were missing.
