Police in the Eastern Region have captured the second robber who escaped after he and his accomplice were arrested for attempting to rob a GCB bank bullion van at Afram Plains.
The Afram Plains District Police Commander, Superintendent Obeng Dompreh, confirmed this to Citi News on Thursday.
Two of the robbers escaped while they were being conveyed to the Police station.
The attempted robbery led to the death of the driver of the van, after a heated exchange of gunfire between the police officer in the van and the suspects.
The first person was busted earlier on Thursday from his hideout.
