The Police have uncovered a shooting range at Tema Community 3 where suspected armed robbers do their shooting rehearsals before launching their attacks on innocent and law abiding citizens.

The suspected armed robbers were busily rehearsing when the police stormed their hideout following a tip-off. The suspects upon seeing the police opened fire on them and the police returned fire killing one instantly.

Two others are currently on the run and are being hunted by the police.

A total of 72 cartridges and several empty plastic bottles which served as targets for the shooting rehearsals were retrieved by the police.

At a media briefing Sunday, the Tema Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Juliana Obeng urged the public to help the police arrest the fugitives.
