Four robbery syndicates operating at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra have been busted by the police.
The fifth one is on the run and is being pursued by the police. The Inspector General of Police, Mr Paul Tawiah Quaye, said this when he called on the Omanhene of the New Juaben Traditional area, Daasebre Oti Boateng and the Okyenhene, Osagyefo Amoatia Ofori Panin, as part of his tour of the Eastern Region.
Many foreigners have fallen prey to these robbers whose modus operandi has been to trail people who arrive in the country to their homes and rob them.
He said the police were well positioned to fight crime and assured the public that the police would do everything to protect lives and property.
Mr Tawiah said armed robbery incidences had been recorded in the Eastern Region especially at Suhum and its surrounding areas as a result of the pressure being put on them in Accra and that the police would fight them anywhere.
The IGP called on all to collaborate with the police for effective community policing that would be relevant to the security needs of the people.
