Regional Police Operations Commander, Julius Kpebbeson, who underscores the importance of snap checks, wants residents to give police all the needed cooperation to help bring robbery under control.
He is unhappy many residents over the years have been castigating the police for mounting unannounced road checks because on inconvenience.
“Policing in society is a shared responsibility and the police is a friend and not an enemy. We are not on the road to inconvenience the society but we are there in the interest of the very people who at times feel we are unduly delaying their movement,” DSP Kpebbeson noted.
Meanwhile, police have mounted search for a fourth accomplice identified only as Murderer believed to be the supplier of the weapons.
