Suspect Kofi Sarkodie in Police custody<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Sakumono police have
\napprehended a middle aged man for attempted robbery.<\/p>\n
The man identified as Kofi Sarkodie
\nwas arrested at Kuntunse near Amasaman through police intelligence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He is said to be part of a car
\nsnatching syndicate that has been robbing car rental companies of their\u00a0vehicles.<\/p>\n
According to the police, three
\nvictims have since identified Kofi Sarkodie as their attacker while in custody.<\/p>\n
The modus operandi, according to the
\nSakumono Police, is to rent luxurious cars from a car rental company to Kumasi
\nand on the way, the suspect together with his accomplices will then snatch the
\nvehicle from the driver and escape with it.<\/p>\n
Narrating how suspect was arrested
\nby the police to the media, the Accra Regional Police Public Relations Officer,
\nDeputy Superintendent of Police, Effia Tenge said the suspect was arrested on
\nAugust 1, 2019 around 1pm at Kuntunse in the Ga West Municipality.<\/p>\n
She said the complainant in the
\ncase is a Transport Rental Company manager with office located on the Spintex
\nRoad.<\/p>\n
On July 30, 2019, DSP Tenge said
\nthe complainant received a telephone call from a caller who gave his name as
\nJames and wanted a Toyota Land cruiser Prado to rent to Kumasi for two days.<\/p>\n
She said the caller told the
\ncomplainant to meet him with the vehicle at Kuntunse on the Accra -Nsawam Main
\nroad\u00a0instead of moving to the office of the company for his particulars to
\nbe taken.<\/p>\n
\u2018The complainant told the police
\nthat he did not have the vehicle specification the caller was demanding and had
\nto contact a sister rental company for one.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Accra Regional PRO continued
\nthat the complainant was then advised by his colleagues to be careful of such
\npersons since they could be robbers.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of the colleagues of the
\ncomplainant who claimed they were also robbed by their attackers through the
\nsame modus operandi, urged the victim to contact the police for assistance if
\npossibly.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Police PRO maintained that the
\npolice then accompanied the complainant to the location where the suspect was
\nstanding to take the vehicle to Kumasi and when they got there, a middle aged
\nman appeared and sat in the vehicle to be taken to Kumasi and was arrested.<\/p>\n
She said upon interrogation at the
\npolice station, the police discovered that there were inconsistencies in his
\nstatement and responses which made the police believe the suspect could be a
\ncriminal.<\/p>\n
DSP Tenge said, while in custody,
\nthree other victims reported to the station to identify the suspect as their
\nattacker who rented their vehicle to Kumasi but ended up snatching the vehicle
\nfrom them early this year.<\/p>\n
She said suspect, Sarkodie, was
\nstill in their custody assisting police with their investigations.<\/p>\n
