Armed “Pick-up” snatchers are on Ashanti Police Command’s
wanted list
Kumasi, April 2, Ghanadot/GNA - A gang
numbering between two and four and are wielding pump action
guns have been snatching new pick-up vehicles from people in
the Kumasi metropolis.
The criminal group has so far snatched nine vehicles.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Bright Oduro, the Crime
Officer, told newsmen on Wednesday that members of the gang
take cover around the entrances of their victims’ houses and
pounce on them immediately they show up and seize their
vehicles.
Felix Batiehi Chaaba, Koney Tettey Issaka, Obiri Yeboah
Ahiman, Joseph Hannah, Christian Addo, Kusi Brempong,
Nicholas Yaw Sarpong, Appiah Hene Gyamfi Oswel have had
their vehicles taken away from them.
Another belonging to the Zoomlion Ghana Limited driven by
Stephen G. Darko was snatched in the night in May 2006.
Mr Oduro said none of the vehicles had been retrieved,
neither had any of the robbers been arrested, adding that
police investigation had found out that the vehicles were
sent out of Ghana to either Nigeria or Cote D’Ivore to be
sold.
The Command has therefore appealed to the public to
volunteer information for their arrest for a reward.
