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.
