The Ghana Police Intelligence team has arrested an ex-convict identified as Michael Agbanyo, also known as Obina, in connection with an alleged attempted robbery at Ho RTC in the Volta Region.
According to the police, Agbanyo was arrested at a hideout following intelligence gathered in connection with the reported incident.
The suspect is alleged to have attempted to rob a shop at Ho RTC, but the operation was reportedly unsuccessful.
Police investigators subsequently launched efforts to identify and locate the individual believed to be behind the attempted robbery.
Following intelligence-led investigations, officers reportedly traced Agbanyo to his hideout, where he was arrested.
The police say the suspect later confessed to his involvement in the attempted robbery during questioning.
His arrest forms part of ongoing efforts by the Ghana Police Service to identify individuals suspected of engaging in criminal activities and prevent further incidents.
The case is expected to undergo further investigation as police work to establish the full circumstances surrounding the alleged attempted robbery.
Authorities may also investigate whether the suspect could be linked to other criminal incidents in the area.
The arrest highlights the role of intelligence-led policing in tackling suspected criminal activity before it escalates.
Residents and business owners in Ho are also likely to welcome the development, particularly amid concerns about the safety of shops and commercial establishments.
The police have continued to encourage members of the public to provide useful information that can assist investigators in identifying suspects and preventing crime.
Although Agbanyo has reportedly confessed to the attempted robbery, the allegations against him will still be subject to the appropriate legal process.
The suspect is expected to face the necessary legal proceedings as investigations continue.
Authorities have not indicated whether other individuals are being sought in connection with the incident.
For now, the arrest of the ex-convict represents a development in the police investigation into the failed robbery attempt at Ho RTC.
