Osei Kwabena Tutu alias Wayo, 40, alleged to be a notorious criminal involved in several armed robberies and fraud in Accra and Kumasi, has been arrested by the security agencies in Kumasi.
Tutu, who hails from Kwamang, near Nsuta in the Sekyere West District of Ashanti, is said to have been declared wanted by various Police stations for fraud including fake currency trafficking and the duping of businessmen of several millions of cedis.
The Kumasi Police said Tutu operates at Old Tafo, Dichemso, Ayeduase and Kotei, all in Kumasi and some suburbs in Accra with two accomplices who were named as Alhaji Baba and Alhaji Abu.
The Police said the culprit was arrested when he attempted to sell a Renault saloon car, which he stole from a second hand car dealer in Accra after convincing the dealer and deposited five million cedis out of the price of 39 million cedis.
Tutu then told the car dealer that he wanted to try the car but took it to Kumasi and registered it in his name. The Police said its Buffalo Unit impounded the car and that after his arrest several people identified him as having been involved in robberies.
The Police have, therefore, appealed to the public to report to the Ashanti Regional Police Crime Officer to assist in investigations. He would be arraigned on Monday, October 1.
