Reports gathered by Starr News indicate that one of the two Police officers who escaped police custody for the attack on a bullion van in Nkawkaw in the Eastern region has been re-arrested.
Lance Corporal Kusi Abrokwah was allegedly arrested by a “weed smoker” in the bush around Nkawkaw and handed over to Police officers who were nearby.
Lance Corporal Kusi Abrokwah and two others were arrested Tuesday evening after the attack on the bullion van led to the death of the vehicle driver while a Police officer escorting the vehicle was also wounded.
The armed robbers attacked the GCB Bank bullion van at Maame Krobo in the Affram Plains South district of the Eastern region, Monday morning.
The robbers fled into the bush after the attack, Afram Plains district commander Superintendent Obeng Dompreh told Starrfmonline.com.
He said the robbers could not succeed with their operation as a result of a gun battle with the police officer on board the vehicle.
After thorough investigations, two Police officers known as Kissi and Fire and a mechanic were arrested for their involvement in the robbery incident. However, they managed to escape as they were being transferred to Police head office in Koforidua.
The other police officer is still at large as police officers hunt for him.
Meanwhile, irate residents of Donkorkrom in the Afram Plains North district of the Eastern region have set the police station there on fire over clashes with the law enforcement body.
The locals clashed with police personnel Thursday as they demonstrate over the escape of two police officers in the operation to rob a GCB Bank bullion van at Maame Krobo.
