Man who attempted stealing police armoured car arrested

A young man, identified as Ebenezer Frimpong, has been arrested after he allegedly jumped into a Police armoured vehicle and attempted to drive it away at the Nkawie Market in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

Reports indicate that the police driver had briefly stepped out to buy medication, leaving the engine running. The suspect seized the moment, entered the vehicle, and drove off—only to be swiftly chased and apprehended by a Police patrol team.

He was later arrested by a SWAT team at Mim near Abuakwa–Kumasi, and the vehicle has since been retrieved and secured.

The suspect is currently in Police custody assisting with investigations.
