Three young men have been arrested by police officers from the Special Weapons Ammunitions and Tactics (SWAT) team at the Police Headquarters in Accra for armed robbery.<\/p>\n
They are Victor Akpatoglo, who claims to be 14 years old, Robert Tawiah, 17 and Kwadwo Agyeman, 20.<\/p>\n
The three men overpowered a female driver and dispossessed her of a Mercury 4X4 vehicle with registration number GN 2161-09 at Ayensu River Estates near Oyibi at about 2:30am on Thursday March 3, 2011.<\/p>\n
A spot check on them revealed offensive weapons such as cutlasses, kitchen knives, screw drivers, chisels and a spent cartridge.<\/p>\n
In addition, the police retrieved 5 laptop computers, an MP 3 player, several cell phones and accessories.<\/p>\n
ACP Richmond Boi-Bi-Boi, Director of Police Operations, said the police information room had a distress call at dawn on Thursday that a three-man gang had attacked a lady driver at Oyibi.<\/p>\n
The SWAT team was quickly dispatched to the location where Robert Tawiah was arrested at Ayensu with the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Robert later led the police to arrest Victor Akpatoglo and Kwadwo Agyeman, said to be the ring leader, at Abokobi.<\/p>\n
During interrogation, the three disclosed that they had been involved in several other robberies in and around Oyarifa-Abokobi areas.<\/p>\n
The three also confessed that on Tuesday March 1, 2011, they did snatch a Benz saloon car and a laptop computer from its owner at Abokobi but have since abandoned the car at an unknown destination.<\/p>\n
ACP Boi-Bi-Boi said the police would launch a full-scale investigation into the incidents.<\/p>\n
He used the opportunity to caution armed robbers to take up a new trade or risk being arrested.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
