Police in Kumasi have arrested three suspected armed robbers for various crimes committed in Ashanti Region.

They include 21 year old Nicholas Gyapong, alias “Spaculus” of the Dompoase Senior High School and two other unemployed aged 26 and 32.

The Senior Prefect of the school, Daniel Owusu also known as “Shaka” and alleged to be leader of the Gang, is now at large.

Bekwai Divisional Police Commander, ASP Ohwiahene Acheampong told Nhyira FM on Thursday, the suspects were picked up after carrying out three robbery operations at some mining companies in Kumasi.

ASP Acheampong says in December last year the gang robbed the Shong Gong Mining Company at Awiankwanta on the Obuasi road. They stole mobile phones, machine accessory and an amount of 94,000 Ghana cedis.

He said police upon a tip-off last week arrested the two unemployed suspects from their hid out around Obuasi as investigations led them to pick up a final year student of Dompoase SHS, Nicholas Gyapong from the school.

Headmaster of Dompoase Senior High School, Mr. Opoku Asamoah admits the two are students of the school but is surprised at their conduct.

Mr. Asamoah says school authorities are collaborating with the police for the law to take its cause.
