Three armed robbers are in the grips of the Osu police in the Greater Accra region after residents there effected a citizen's arrest Thursday evening.
The armed robbers allegedly snatched a bag belonging to a foreigner which contained an unspecified amount of money.
A taxi driver was alerted by an alarm raised by eyewitnesses while the suspects made their escape on a motorbike. The driver rammed his vehicle into a motorbike which disoriented the suspects briefly. They took to their heels and residents took them on in a hot chase.
One of the suspects carried a cutlass but was cut down by the angry residents who arrested him and handed him over to the police.
Two others were later apprehended.
The arrests end a working week of rife robbery stories. Daring in their attempts, armed robbers stole an undisclosed amount of cash in a daylight operation Tuesday morning at the North Industrial Area.
Only 24 hours later, a Lebanese cashier was shot dead in his car as an armed gang trailed him after he had withdrawn 200,000 cedis to pay salaries.
A mother was fatally stabbed later in the evening at Obuasi in the Ashanti region.
The crimes have put the police under pressure to demonstrate to the public they are up to the task.

The Police should help in repairing the Taxi Driver's vehicle and he should also be rewarded for such a daring act.
Ndc are behind all these robbery, are you robbing because Akufo Addo has assembled Competent people to keep your st*pid ndc off the seat of government? then you have a lot of work to do and by 2020 you would have buried most if your people because Ghanaians have seen it us ndc who are doing that for their own parochial interest so the mob action will come again and the police will also shoot and kill. Akufo Addo will never allow lazy low lives who think politics means ste*l and get rich quick to distabilize his country, play the fo*l and you will see the radical side of the man who fought against military dictatorship. Nkwaseafuo ,is politics the only surviving life in this world? Lazy fo*ls and kriminals. Very annoying!
Let akufo-addo reduce his ministers, they are too many and they are not effective, moreover this is just confusion and deception. what are their roles,NPP and akufo addo shld take us serious, you guys shld wake up. enough of big phonetic grammers and be serious!, right from mustafa hamid and bawumia and akufo-addo and his friends and cousins in govt, that's is not the solution. All these ministers in charge of security? yet no security, we living in fear ---- National Security Minister, Minister in charge of National Security, Minister of Interior, Minister of Defence, National Security Advisor, National Security Coordinator, Director of Presidential Security, Inspector General of Police, the Chief of Defence Staff, Director of BNI, Director of Defence Intelligence, Director of Research amongst others
For the protection of the driver, you should NOT have shown the car registration number, What kind of journalism is this? Please use your head
Please editor the story has a few grammatical mistakes so check next time.
