The Ashanti South Regional Police Command has arrested Stephen Kwakye for conspiring to commit robbery against a gold miner at Manso Abrense near Manso Nsiana in the Ashanti Region.
The December 30 arrest follows intelligence that he and other accomplices were planning an attack on a victim who routinely transports gold to Kumasi for sale.
Preliminary investigations revealed that the suspect played a key role in organising the robbery, including monitoring the victim’s movements and coordinating with accomplices to accost him while in transit.
Acting on intelligence, police officers closely monitored developments surrounding the planned robbery and arrested the suspect when he showed up to collect his share of the proceeds after being informed that the operation had been successful.
During interrogation, the suspect admitted to organising the robbery.
The suspect is currently in police custody assisting investigations, while efforts are underway to identify and arrest his accomplices to face the full rigours of the law.
