Mohammed Kwame
A 28-YEAR-OLD scrap collector did the
unimaginable by stealing a police motorcycle at a police station at Malejor near
Oyibi in the Kpone-Katamanso Municipality.
The culprit, Mohammed Kwame, who resides at
Agbogbloshie together with his accomplice named only as Razak, who is currently
at large, stole the police motorcycle with registration number GP 4818.
He was, however, arrested when riding the
motorcycle in Accra.
On August 17, 2019 at about 4:00 am, the police
officer after night patrol sparked the motorcycle at rented quarters at
Malejor.
On the same day at about 4:30 am, another
policeman who was also on a motorcycle patrol duty along the Dodowa-Adenta road,
spotted Mohammed riding the motorcycle with Razak sitting behind him.
The police officer became suspicious and
followed them. On reaching a section of the road at Opeibea in Accra, he
signaled them to stop and arrested Mohammed but Razak managed to escape.
With the assistance of a military patrol team,
they escorted Mohammed together with the motorcycle to the Airport Police
Station where Mohammed admitted the offence and mentioned Razak as his
accomplice.
Mohammed then led police to where they stole
the motorcycle. He was handed over to the Malejor police together with the
motorcycle for further investigation.
Investigations revealed that the suspects cut
the ignition key with a sharp object, causing damage to the starter valued at
GH¢200.
Efforts are underway to arrest the second suspect.
