Police in the Eastern Region have managed to re-arrest the third suspect in the GCB Bank bullion heist.
The third suspect, in addition to two others, both police officers, bolted while they were being transferred to the regional headquarters in Koforidua.
The three attacked and killed a GCB Bank bullion van driver as he transported money to the bank’s branch in the Afram Plains North district of the region.
Addressing a press conference at the Police Headquarters in Accra on Friday August 19, law enforcement officers indicated that the three will be processed for court to face the law.
The flight of the cops caused residents of Donkorkrom to hit the streets on Thursday, 18 August. The angry locals torched a police station in protest to the flight of the cops, which they believed happened due to collusion between the police and their arrested colleagues.
Earlier, police at Donkorkrom fired tear gas and warning shots at the demonstrators injuring 15 of them with two in critical condition.
The fugitive cops were the first to have been re-arrested. Lance Corporal Kusi Abrokwah was re-arrested on the morning of Thursday August 18 while the second officer, identified only as Fire, was picked up later in the afternoon on the same day at Adoagyiri, a suburb of Nkawkaw.
