The suspects have been identified as James Tamba, 38, and Prince Tamba, 43, respectively. They allegedly committed the burglary while on duty at the filling station in the main street of Ganta, Nimba County.

The suspects allegedly forced themselves to work during the night of the incident.

The Anti-Crime Security is owned and operated by a citizen of Nimba identified as Peter Zain.

When contacted, the Management of Total in Ganta said Police are investigating the matter and referred this writer to head office for detail.
