A man identified as Ebenezer Frimpong has been arrested for allegedly stealing an armoured vehicle belonging to the Ghana Police Service in Nkawie Market, located in the Ashanti Region of Ghana.
According to Zagazola Makama, the incident occurred when the driver of the police armoured vehicle briefly stepped away, leaving the engine running in the busy market area.
Frimpong was said to have taken advantage of the situation, entered the vehicle, and drove off, prompting an immediate response from security operatives.
Law enforcement officers launched a coordinated pursuit after receiving reports of the theft, tracking the suspect along the Nkawie\u2013Mim route.
He was eventually intercepted and arrested near Mim following what authorities described as a swift and coordinated operation.
\u201cThe suspect was apprehended without further incident, and the vehicle was recovered intact,\u201d a security source said.
Authorities confirmed that the armoured vehicle was retrieved without damage and has since been returned to police custody.
