Accra, Feb. 20, GNA – The Western North Regional Police Command on Friday, February 18, 2022, through intelligence operation, arrested three “notorious” armed robbers.

They are Abiaw Reuben, alias “Ayile Baako,” Kwabena Brentu and Isaac Arhin, who were grabbed at Kwawu in the Enchi District of the Western North Region.

The robbery suspects were arrested while they were in the process of fortifying themselves with what is believed to be the blood of a fowl at their hideout in preparation for another robbery operation.

The police said a search conducted on them led to the retrieval of two pump action guns, 18 live AAA cartridges, a sharpened machete, one knife and a cleaver.

The three suspects would be put before court, the police said.

“We are assuring the public that we will continue to work hard to protect them and their property while making life uncomfortable for criminals. We, therefore, continue to seek your support and help in this venture.”

The police reiterated the need for the public to always remember that police-community partnership was the master key to crime fighting and the maintenance of law and order.
