AK 47 rifle<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Prampram District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Mr Paul Mensah Bampoe, told the Daily Graphic that. The suspect was arrested at Miotso\/Prampram about 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 23, 2014 with an AK 47 rifle hanging at his back.<\/p>\n
He said the suspect, who was riding a motorcycle, with registration number M-14-GR 1287, had two magazines of 58 live rounds of ammunition on him when he was grabbed by the police.<\/p>\n
Mr Bampoe said he was on patrol duty with the Greater Accra Regional Police Staff Officer, DSP Mr Eric Asamoah Asiedu, who was visiting the Prampram Police, when they saw the suspect in an attire which looked like the camouflage uniform of the Ghana Immigration Service.<\/p>\n
Explaining the circumstances that led to the arrest of the suspect, Mr Asiedu said because the motor rider was displaying the rifle in broad daylight, he and the Prampram Commander became curious to know who he was, but when \u201cour car got closer to his motor, he sped off and we gave him a hot chase\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While they were chasing the suspect, Mr Asiedu said, Adam tried several times to remove the gun which was hanging around his neck \u201cbut he could not\u201d.<\/p>\n
After chasing Adam for about 500 metres, the police hit the motorcycle with their car.<\/p>\n
The suspect then fell off the motorcycle, \u201cbut immediately he fell he tried to get hold of the rifle which had then fallen off from his neck and tried to cock it\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of us stamped his foot on the suspect\u2019s hands, while the other grabbed him, having sustained injuries after he had fallen down,\u201d Mr Asiedu said.<\/p>\n
