The Asante Regional Police Command has apprehended three individuals believed to be part of a motorcycle gang, responsible for terrorizing residents in the Breman-Kronum-Suame area of the Ashanti Region, Ghana. The suspects, Sharif Mahmud, 23, Abdallah Karim, 25, and James Alena, 25, were apprehended in Suame, Kumasi, around 1:40 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026.
According to the police, the gang was allegedly involved in violent attacks and robberies, taking over roads and hosting illegal midnight motorcycle races. The police had been tracking the gang's activities for some time in an effort to apprehend its members, who had evaded arrest previously. Although three suspects have been taken into custody, several others were able to escape during the operation.
The arrested individuals have been released on police inquiry bail and are scheduled to appear in court once the Judicial Service Association of Ghana (JUSAG) strike ends. Investigations are ongoing to locate and arrest the remaining gang members. The police command has appealed to residents to provide any information that could aid in identifying and apprehending the suspects at large, emphasizing their commitment to maintaining law and order in the region.
