Three persons,
suspected to be part of a syndicate that has been breaking into traders shops
at the Awudome Cemetery area in Accra, have been busted.
The suspects are
Isaac Adusei Boadi, 24, Ishmael Ahenkorang, 20 and Enoch Fianoka, 20.
The suspects are
currently in the custody of the Accra Regional Police Command.
Inspector
Kwabena Danso of the Accra Regional Police Public Relations Office, when
contacted by DAILY GUIDE said personnel on October 28, 2019, while on patrol
duties, received a distress call that there was a burglary going on at the Awudome
area.
He said the
patrol team swiftly moved to the location and spotted the suspects allegedly breaking
into a shop.
“The suspects
had broken into the first layer of the shop and were about breaking the second
layer when they saw the police patrol vehicle approaching them.”
Inspector
Danso continued that upon seeing the police, the suspects jumped into a Toyota
Hiace bus with registration number GE4294-12, to escape but were blocked by a
taxi driver who witnessed the action.
“Suspects,
Boadi and Ahenkorang, were arrested in the process but three others managed to
escape.
He said
police investigations later led to the arrest of Enoch Fianoko.
He noted that
suspect Ishmael Ahenkorang admitted to the offence, during interrogation
sessions, that he was recruited by suspect Boadi after he had approached him to
borrow an amount of GH¢200.
Also suspect Boadi also mentioned the name of one Kwame aka Abele, currently at large, as the one who introduced him into the group.
