Three persons wanted by the police for stealing flat-screen television sets from residential apartments and shops in Accra have been arrested.
The three whose names were given by the police as Emmanuel Apisugu, 19, a motor mechanic, Horlanyo Mensah, 19, unemployed, and Prince Asare, 17, a trader, were arrested at their hideout at Alajo.
They broke into houses at Haatso, Atomic and its surrounding areas and stole the television sets.
More reports from victims Briefing journalists in Accra, the Deputy Accra Regional Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Mr Timothy Yoosa Bonga, said the three suspects were armed with a cutter and a crowbar which they used to break into the houses of their victims.
He said the police had received a number of reports from victims whose houses had been burgled while they had gone to church or were sleeping at night.
Mr Bonga said the police intensified their search for the three after they reportedly scaled over the wall of a house at Haatso at about 12 midnight on April 6, 2015, and made away with a 50-inch thermocool LED television set.
Items found Mr Bonga said when a search was conducted at the hideout of the suspects, 10 flat-screen television sets were found.
The police also found three laptops, a canon camera, two Samsung tablets and an ipad in their possession.
They have since been charged with stealing and are being processed for court.
