| The Suspects on parade |
The Volta
Regional Police Command on Monday conducted an identification parade for 19
suspected criminals who were arrested during a special Police operation within
the Ho Municipality over the weekend.
According
to the Regional Police Commander, Peter-King Yentumi Gyinae, the arrest of the
suspects was based on police intelligence and public tip-offs for their
involvement in recent robberies in the area.
However, none
of the suspected criminals was identified at the parade, a situation DCOP
Gyinae blamed on the uncooperative attitude of crime victims to participate in
the exercise.
Notwithstanding
that, the Police Commander said the suspects will be profiled with their
fingerprint and pictures taken before granting them bail.
There were reports of an upsurge in criminal activities within regional capital in recent
times, the latest one being the armed robbery raided on a private health
facility in Ho, Foresight hospital.
The situation
also have compelled chiefs from the Asogli traditional area to chastise the
Police and threatened to deploy their warriors to provide security in town.
But the Regional Police chief appealed to the
general public to volunteer information to the police to enable it protect lives and property.
