CID picks up two over Dzorwulu jewellery shop robbery after five months
Two men are in police custody after the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) arrested them in connection with a robbery at a jewellery shop near Nyaho Clinic at Dzorwulu in Accra.
The suspects, Abubakar Mamoud and Mahmoud Abdul Aziz, also known as Justin Martin, are expected to appear before court on March 26, 2026.
In a press release dated March 25, signed by Chief Inspector Brigitte Babanawo, Public Relations Officer of the CID, the police said the two were arrested on February 24, 2026, at Anyaa in the Greater Accra Region after months of intelligence work by a team from the CID Headquarters.
The arrest comes more than five months after the incident. On September 11, 2025, two armed men on a motorbike attacked the shop, assaulted an attendant, broke the glass door and made away with assorted jewellery.
Police said a search of the suspects’ rooms led to the retrieval of items believed to have been used in the operation.
These include a hammer, a black face mask, a toy pistol, a gold detector, a gold weighing scale, a diamond detector, a backpack, hand gloves, a helmet and two motorbikes.
During interrogation, the suspects admitted to the offence and named one Eddy of Oyarifa as the person who received the stolen jewellery. The police said efforts are ongoing to trace and arrest him.
