The four female car snatchers

A GANG OF four young women, who are said to be snatchers of vehicles from their owners at gun or knifepoint, have been arrested by the police. They are Agnes Darkoa aka Last Killer, Ernestina Amponsah aka Akosua Frimpomaa, Mavis Addo aka Maame Konadu and Sally Sarpong. They were apprehended after they had allegedly robbed a taxi driver of his money and mobile phone at knifepoint.

ASP Mohammed Yussif Tanko, Ashanti Regional police spokesperson, said the four women were in police custody and that they would be arraigned before court soon. He said the suspected robbers, around 11:30 pm, took the taxi from Asafo to Afful Nkwanta, all suburbs of Kumasi. . But upon reaching Afful Nkwanta the suspects reportedly told the driver to take them to Anwiam near the NDC regional office instead of the original destination.

 According to ASP Yussif Tanko, the driver headed for Anwiam but Last Killer, who was in the front seat, pulled a knife on him, seized the ignition key and ordered him to surrender everything on him. The suspected lady gangsters took the driver’s proceeds for the day together with his mobile telephone and took to their heels to avert arrest, but the driver raised an alarm, leading to Sally Sarpong’s arrest.

Sally mentioned the three as her accomplices and a police patrol team managed to arrest the rest, who were escaping in another taxi at Ahinsan, another Kumasi suburb. The police retrieved GH¢145, Huawei mobile phone and Samsung T-Mobile phone from the robbers during a thorough search.
