FIVE SUSPECTED armed robbers are
languishing in cells for terrorizing residents of Ada and its environs.
The suspects were arrested following
a swoop conducted by the Ada Divisional Police Command.
Three locally manufactured pistols,
two pliers and cutters, a claw hammer and four mobile phones were retrieved
from the suspects as exhibits.
Confirming the arrest to DAILY
GUIDE, Chief Superintendent George Andrew Kumah, who is the Ada
Divisional Police Commander, said via telephone that “we are on the heels of
the remaining suspects who escaped arrest during the swoop.”
According to the commander, the police
would be organising identification parade to screen the suspects.
He said the police would continue
to clamp down on criminal activities and ensure maintenance of law and order.
He urged the public to continue to supply the police with the activities of criminals.
In recent times, residents of
Kasseh and its surrounding communities have been complaining about upsurge in insecurity in the area.
According to a statement issued by
Ada Development Network, a civil society group in Ada, the group condemned the
attacks and urged the police to intensify their patrols.
Besides, they offered to assist the police with information that would lead to the arrests of perpetrators of crime.
