A 26-year-old man, Ebenezer Frimpong, is in police custody after allegedly attempting to steal an armoured vehicle belonging to the Ghana Police Service at Nkawie in the Ashanti Region. According to #Peacefm, the suspect was arrested following a high-speed chase by a SWAT team along the Abuakwa–Kumasi road.
