The Western North Regional Police Command has arrested three suspected robbers while they were allegedly fortifying themselves with what is believed to be the blood of a fowl ahead of a robbery operation.
The police gave their names as Abiaw Reuben, aka Ayile Baako, Kwabena Brentu and Isaac Arhin.
They were arrested last Friday — through an intelligence operation — at their hideout at Kwawu in the Enchi District of the Western North Region.
Search
A police statement released last Saturday said the police retrieved two pump action guns, 18 live AAA cartridges, a sharpened machete and a knife, among other items, upon a search on them at their hideout.

It urged the public to support and help the police, saying: “We should always remember that police-community partnership is the master key to crime-fighting and the maintenance of law and order”.
