The Eastern Regional Police Command on Monday arrested five persons suspected to be armed robbers at Donkorkrom.
The five, all of Fulani extraction, are Ali Bubbey, 28, Hamadu Amaga, 30, Umaru Abdulai, 30, Bubbey Weti, 22 and Alhaji Buba Sumana, 80.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Kwabena Gyamera Yeboah told newsmen that on January 18, this year, four masked armed men blocked the road between Forifori and Juamena, near Tiase and attacked market women from Akati market.
He said when police got to the scene the suspects took to their heels but Ali was arrested and a search on him revealed a locally manufactured pistol with four live cartridges.
DCOP Yeboah said the others, who ran away, took refuge in Alhaji Sumana’s house and were arrested. GNA
