A SUSPECTED armed robber who escaped arrest during a raid at a house on the Spintex Road in 2007 has been arrested.
Kelvin Asebri Brunu, 32, was arrested following information passed on to the police.
A locally manufactured pistol and two rounds of ammunition were found on him.
The Deputy Accra Regional Police Commander, Assistant Commissioner of Police Mr Christian Tetteh Yohuno, told the Daily Graphic that Kelvin, alias Ken, had been involved in a robbery incident on the Spintex Road in 2007 but he managed to escape.
He said one of Kelvin’s accomplices, identified by the police as Isaac Attram, was jailed early this year by the Accra High Court.
He said the suspect claimed that a Toyota Corolla he was driving belonged to his sister, who resides at Sakumono.
Mr Yohuno said apart from support from the government, the reward system instituted by the Inspector-General of Police was the reason for the success of the police in dealing with armed robbery.
He, therefore, urged members of the public to assist the police with information which would lead to the arrest of suspected criminals, noting that providers of such information would be rewarded.
