Soldier arrested for robbery
The Baatsona police in Accra have arrested a
military man stationed at the 37 Military Hospital
and a taxi driver for alleged robbery.

Corporal Bernard Tsagli, believed to be working
with three other military personnel, allegedly
committed the act with the help of a taxi driver
identified as Joseph Ansah.

According to the police, the suspects use the
vehicle and attack customers who go to cash money
from the bank.

After receiving several complaints about their
activates, the police mounted intelligence which
led to the arrest of one of the military personnel
in the company of the taxi driver in Accra.

Confirming the story to DAILY GUIDE, the Accra
Regional Police Commander, DCOP Osaberima Oware
Asare Pinkron III, said the Baatsona police
received a complaint from the victim on May 8,
2017 that at about 11am the previous day, she went
to withdraw an amount of GH¢1,500 from a bank on
the Spintex road, community 18 junction .

While returning from the bank, four military men
in uniforms, using a taxi at Klagon water works
area, attacked her and collected the money.

DCOP Osaberima Pinkron said while investigation
was ongoing, on May 14, 2017, police intelligence
led to the arrest of an Opel Astra taxi with
registration number GM 8155-13 being occupied by
four military men in uniforms around Nhyiraba Kojo
City Nite Club, near the Global Access Bank,
Sakumono, community 18.

Corporal Tsagli was arrested together with Joseph
Ansah, but two other supposed military personnel
managed to escape arrest.

A search on them revealed a taser and handcuffs.

The two have denied the offence but investigations
are still ongoing.
