Four suspected car snatchers who attacked and robbed a taxi driver of his vehicle in Suhum, in the Eastern Region, on Saturday have been arrested.

Police in Fadama in the Greater Accra Region say the four youngsters were picked up at Kokomba Market in Accra around 11:00 p.m. upon a tip-off.

Police say the suspects had offered to sell the newly registered taxi cab as a scrap at the market, a move that raised the suspicion of some members of the community to report them.

The four suspected car snatchers have been identified as David Asare, aged 19 years; Richard Awotey, 18 years; Gideon Addo, 18 years, and Millicent Adjatey an 18-year-old Form Two student of a Methodist senior high in the Eastern Region.

David, Richard and Gideon are all Suhum-based taxi drivers, Police say.
