The two police officers arrested for allegedly robbing a GCB bank Bullion van carrying several wads of cedis in Nkawkaw have escaped, Wednesday.

The officers who are popularly referred to as Kissi and Fire, bolted after a police van they were in, stopped at a fuel station to refill at the Crown Filling Station.

Narrating the incident to Joy News, Mac Jerry Osei Agyemang, a presenter with Life FM in Koforidua said when the police van stopped to refuel, the two men requested to be sent to the urinal.

When they were some few meters away from the car, one of them shoved the police officer to the ground and took to their heels.

Mr Agyemang said residents of Nkawkaw are incensed about the development resulting in a mass gathering of the youth in front of the filling station.

“They are daring the police since they believe they have something to do with the escape of the two officers,” he said.

Meanwhile, the police have mounted a search for the two men. Every passing vehicle within the Nkawkaw and its environs are searched to rearrest the escaped men.

Joy News has gathered the police have still not effected the arrest of the men since they started the search.
