“This arrest is a significant breakthrough in efforts to unravel the high-profile robbery,” she said.
According to her, preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect, acting together with other accomplices who are still at large, intercepted a vehicle transporting proceeds from a jewellery sale to a bank.
She explained that the robbers, who were allegedly armed with AK-47 rifles, fired several shots to scare off bystanders, during which the driver of the vehicle was injured.
The assailants subsequently fled the scene with the cash, she added.
DCOP Donkor also disclosed that a nationwide manhunt has been launched to apprehend the remaining suspects, while efforts are also underway to recover the stolen funds.
