A teenager, who robs people of their valuables in the night with a sharp knife in Kumasi, the Ashanti regional capital, has been arrested.
Augustine Kyeremeh, 18, robbed a certain teacher at knife-point which resulted in his arrest.
The teenager usually carried out his nefarious activities at obscure places at Ash Town, which is located in the heart of the city.
ASP Mohammed Yussif Tanko, the Ashanti Regional Police PRO, disclosed that Kyeremeh pulled a knife on the hapless teacher and forcibly took away two mobile phones and an amount of GH¢550.
The teacher later reported the matter to the police, who arrested Kyeremeh after investigations.
ASP Tanko, who disclosed this to the media in Kumasi, said Kyeremeh admitted the offence during interrogation.
He stated that the police were conducting further investigations to determine his involvement in other cases.
ASP Tanko urged the public to provide the police with vital information to ensure the arrest of hoodlums before they strike.
