The five individuals standing trial are Constable Affisu Yaro Ibrahim, Constable Richard Boadu, constable Rabiu Jambedu, Constable Albert Ofosu and Razak Alhassan who is a scrap dealer.
According to a statement issued by the Ghana Police service, the five were picked up at their hideout after a police intelligence raid at Borteyman near Ashaiman on Tuesday.
Two police officers who were earlier arrested also in connection with the investigation died in a shoot-out when they led the police to another hideout of criminals involved in the crime.
During today’s hearing, the prosecutor, Sylvester Asare opposed a bail application by the counsel for one of the accused persons, Albert Ofosu.
According to the State prosecutor’s submission, it would be dangerous to allow such a criminal suspect back into society.
Albert Ofosu and Affisu Yaro Ibrahim were charged with an attempt to commit crime and robbery at North Kaneshie, while Richard Boadu, Razak Alhassan, and Rabiu Jambedu, were charged with abetment of crime and robbery.
According to the court, the suspects must remain in police custody for further investigations, hence the decision to adjourn the case to March 28.
