The police at the Cantonments have intercepted a weapon believed to be a pistol concealed in a pack of food meant for a robbery suspect.
The high vigilance of a police officer on duty foiled the attempt to smuggle the firearm by a twenty-three-year-old lady.
According to Greater Accra Police PRO, Efia Tengey “on July 11, 2021, at about 4:45 pm, a young lady aged about 23years with Nigerian accent came to the charge office with two packs of Papaye labeled fast food to be served on a robbery remand prisoner in cells.”
“When the food was carefully inspected by the duty officer on duty, a locally manufactured pistol with one aa cartridge was found concealed in one of the packs with the food covering it.”
She added that “unfortunately, the lady managed to flee the scene. Strenuous efforts are underway to trace and arrest the lady.”
