The Greater Accra Regional police have arrested a military officer and a professional heavy load equipment operator for allegedly snatching a car at gun point.

Deputy Accra Regional Police Commander told Joy News Lance Coproral Fiaku Micheal, 24 and Baffoe Archer, 24, hired the taxi from Tudu in Accra en route to the Osu castle.

“On reaching the CEPS traffic light, the military officer requested to use the washroom and directed the complainant to drive to the independence square.

“On arrival the military officer used the washroom as requested leaving suspect Baffoe Archer in the taxi cab with the driver,” ACP Timothy Bonga stated.

The military officer returned minutes later from the washroom with a gun and with the help of his accomplice ordered the driver to hand over the vehicle.

The taxi driver out of fear handed over the vehicle. He reported the case to the police and it was at the sale of the taxi cab that the suspects were apprehended by the police.

According to Joy News’ Latif Idris who was at a press briefing organized by the police said one more suspect, Richard Opoku Asamoah is on the run.
