The Upper East Regional Police Command has arrested an armed robber, Salifu Mohammed, 24, who attempted to snatch a motorbike from its owner at gunpoint.

His accomplice was lucky to have escaped arrest.

The police retrieved a locally manufactured pistol and two cartridges, a knife, and an unregistered motorbike which the suspects rode for their robbery enterprise.

The Ghana Police Service in a Facebook post said its officers are on the heels of the accomplice and commended members of communities from Navrongo to Bolgatanga for calling police promptly leading to the arrest.
