TWO (2) Suspected robbers arrested in Tema
The Tema Police have arrested two
suspects for allegedly carrying out two separate robberies at ECOBANK and the
Ghana Commercial Bank, both at Tema Community One.
The robberies are said to have been
carried out about 3 p.m. yesterday, April 1, 2014.
The suspects have been identified as
Mohammed Ahmed, 31, a motor mechanic who lives at Dome in Accra, and Emmanuel
Ahiagbedzi, 23, a resident of Accra New Town.
During a search on them, the police
found a pistol, a Nokia mobile phone, GH¢2,605, as well as a talisman in a
lady’s bag they were carrying.
At a press briefing in Tema
yesterday, the Tema Regional Police Commander, DCOP Mrs Beatrice Zakpa
Vib-Sanziri, said a police patrol team from Tema Community Two had information
that the suspects had robbed some customers of the banks of their money.
Based on that information, the
patrol team pursued the robbers, who were riding an unregistered motorbike.
Realising that the suspects might
escape, the driver of the police team, Corporal Stephen Kyei Mensah, used the
police vehicle to push the motorbike.
As a result, the suspects fell down
from their Honda motorbike, enabling the police to arrest them.
DCOP Vib-Sanziri commended the
public for the timely information leading to the arrest of the suspects and
charged security officers manning the various banks in Tema to be
extra-vigilant.
He advised bank authorities to give
information on criminals timeously, so that they could be arrested on time.
