Recent robbery incidents in the northern sector of the Volta Region mean banks in the region may have to tighten their security even further.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Kofi Adei-Akyeampong, the new Hohoe Divisional Commander, gave the advice in an interview with the Ghana News Agency at Hohoe.
He advised banks in the sector to erect protective walls with wire barricades, adequate lighting systems and surveillance cameras in and around their premises.
A gang of robbers recently robbed the Hohoe branch of the Ghana Commercial Bank, carrying away several millions of cedis.
ACP Adei-Akyeampong said the police and other security agencies would do their best to arrest armed robbers.
He assured political parties in the area of the neutrality of the police in the 2008 Election and urged them to be circumspect in their electioneering campaigns.
