MAN WITH STOLEN GUN ARRESTED (BACK PAGE)

A 20-year-old man who allegedly absconded with a nine millimetre pistol belonging to his foster father has been arrested by the Sekondi Police.
The suspect, Bismark Kobina Owusu, was said to have stolen the pistol and some live ammunition from his foster father’s bedroom and left a hand-written note with a contact cell phone number that he had gone and would return in a different form.
According to the Western Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Inspector Olivia Adiku, the foster parents reported that they had found two SB-9mm bullets in the boy’s bag but he was nowhere to be found.
The PRO said Owusu was an adopted child of the couple and had been staying with them for more than four years and had completed his secondary education.
According to Inspector Adiku, the parents said they did not have any problem with the young man and that they lived together as a family and that his departure left doubt in their minds as to what might have prompted him to bolt with nothing but a pistol with live ammunition.
