Police arrest notorious armed robber in Tema

The Tema Regional Police Command says it has arrested a 25-year-old suspected notorious robber, Musah Adamu, aka Adams, at his hideout in Tema.

The police said the suspect together with his accomplices, now on the run, on November 24, last year, engaged in a suspected robbery activity at Tema Industrial Area about 2.50 am.

However, they absconded when police responded to a distress call, leaving behind a mobile phone and unregistered motorbike which was later retrieved by the police.
