A Highway patrol team of the Tarkwa Police has foiled a broad daylight robbery attempt at Bawdie, near Bogoso, in the Prestea Huni-Valley District of the Western Region.
Two of the four suspects managed to escape, but a young man, who later went to the police in an attempt to negotiate the release of the other two, was also arrested to help in investigations.
Their names were given as Albert Atinga, 21, Evans Smith, 26 and James Andoh, 29.
According the Western Regional Crime Officer, Mr Victor Agbetornyo, a search conducted on their vehicle revealed one green helmet, one Russia-made shotgun with 14-rounds of bullets, military uniforms, knifes, etc.
He said the suspects were in an unregistered Ford saloon car in a very suspicious manner at Bawdie, when the patrol team ordered them to pull over.
The crime officer said two of the occupants were in military uniform and looked very questionable; they were requested by the police to follow them to the district police station.
He said before the police could ask of their mission, the two in uniform had already taken to their heels, and the other two were apprehended.
