A group of suspected phone snatchers narrowly escaped death after their vehicle was involved in an accident and plunged into a ditch at Ajumako in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District of the Central Region.

Information gathered by GHOne News' Yaw Boagyan revealed that the suspects, numbering about five, had been terrorizing a community within the district, snatching mobile phones, bags, and money from unsuspecting victims.

The most recent incident occurred at Ajumako, opposite the government hospital, where the criminals forcibly took a newly posted nurse's mobile phone, bag, and money as she was returning from work in the evening.

While fleeing the scene, the suspects got into an accident on the Ajumako-Nkwantanum road when their private car, registered CR-1784-12, crashed into an electricity pole and veered into a ditch.
