[contextly_sidebar id=”IqsapGWaiP8ZrFeHKrdIgQd0MG64i2v4″]The Volta Region in recent times has become a hotbed for criminal activities especially the capital, Ho.<\/p>\n
In what could be best described as a war waged against them by the armed robbers, the residents are often subjected to brutalities and harassments even in a broad daylight.<\/p>\n
There were litany cases where people were held at gun points and in other cases slashed with machetes during the robbery.<\/p>\n
A recent case was a Police Officer, Constable Eric Osie who was shot at a robbery scene.<\/p>\n
The officer has since been receiving treatment at the Volta Regional hospital.<\/p>\n
The swoop by the Regional Police Command forms part of measures to intensify security operations in the area.<\/p>\n
An identification parade was conducted on Wednesday where five suspects were identified by victims.<\/p>\n
One of the suspects, 27-year-old Agbanyo Michael, alias Obina, took the lead with about six victims identifying him.<\/p>\n
In an interview with Citi News<\/strong>, the Volta Regional Police Crime Officer, Chief Supt. James Kofi Abraham said further investigations would be conducted as the suspects are being arraigned for court.<\/p>\n “We are conducting investigations to build a strong case for prosecution of the suspects. Meanwhile the swoop would not end; we would continue to conduct more swoop until we clamp down all criminal activities.”<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: King Norbert Akpablie\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Fourteen\u00a0suspected criminals have been arrested by the Volta Regional Police Command following a swoop conducted in the regional capital, Ho.
