Two out of three suspected armed robbers who allegedly attacked and snatched the bags of a British national at Osu at gunpoint have been arrested.
The suspects, according to police reports, were knocked down by a taxi driver while they were escaping on a motorbike.
Two of the suspects fell on the ground but the motor rider managed to escape with one of the bags.
The Accra Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Efia Tenge, gave DAILY GUIDE the names of the busted suspects as Abubarkar Issah and Joseph Lartey.
Narrating how the incident took place to the media, she said on Thursday evening, the lady went to Country Kitchen, Osu, to shop.
While returning, the three suspected armed robbers reportedly attacked her with a pistol and ordered her to surrender two bags she was carrying.
