A young man, identified as Ebenezer Frimpong, has been arrested for allegedly attempting to steal a Police armoured vehicle at Nkawie in the Ashanti Region.
According to reports, the incident occurred at the Nkawie Market when the police driver briefly stepped out to purchase medication, leaving the vehicle’s engine running.
The suspect reportedly took advantage of the situation, entered the armoured vehicle, and drove off.
However, his attempt was short-lived as a Police patrol team quickly pursued and intercepted him.
Police sources say the suspect was later arrested by a SWAT team at Mim, near Abuakwa-Kumasi. The stolen vehicle has since been retrieved and secured.
Ebenezer Frimpong is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
