The two robbers including Sumaila Nketia and Kwabena Nyameke were arrested by the Police at Abesewa, a suburb of Dunkwa-On-Offin in the Central Region.
After being found guilty of various robberies, the two have been handed 20 and 10 years jail terms in hard labour respectively.
The convicts, Sumaila Nketia alias Last Two and Kwabena Nyameke alias Kalilu were arrested following a police intelligence-driven investigation and operation.
The convicts have been on the police wanted list for multiple robberies in the Dunkwa-On-Offin municipality and its environs.
Victims of five separate robbery attacks came forward to identify them and some stolen properties of the victims have been retrieved.
There are several robbery cases currently against them before the courts.
