This incident follows the recent attack of another Bullion track at the Timber market near James town. This resulted in the death of a constable, Emmanuel Osei and the unfortunate death of a hawker, Afua Badu as well.
Fortunately, with this particular attack, both the police and the driver came out safe and sound. The money in the van was also intact as well.
