An attempt by suspected robbers to break into the GCB Bank branch at Fise Junction, near Pokuase in the Greater Accra Region at dawn last Saturday was foiled by an alarm that went off on the premises.
The suspects allegedly tried to cut the burglar-proof window to give them access to a corridor leading to the strong room of the bank.
The quick response by a private security man on duty at the bank caused the suspects to flee.

Confirming the incident, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Accra Regional Police Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Mrs Effia Tenge, said the police received a distress call at 1:30 a.m. last Saturday about the robbery attempt and quickly dispatched a team to the scene.
