The police in Kumasi aided by a tracking device installed in a Nissan Pickup vehicle, had nabbed a suspected car-snatcher.
Latif Osei-Wusu had stolen the car together with documents covering it from its owner, who was holidaying in the gold mining town of Obuasi on August 12.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Kwaku Ampofo-Duku, Deputy Ashanti Regional Commander, told a news briefing that two other accomplices of the suspect were on the run.
He gave their names as Benjamin Osei Kofi, alias �Gome� and Eric Aboagye-Mensah, popularly known as �Shasha�, and said the police had mounted a search to apprehend them.
He said the vehicle was traced to a Washing Bay at Suame in Kumasi, where its number plate had been replaced and other physical changes made to disguise it and avoid detection.
The suspect and his fugitive colleagues had put it up for sale.
The Deputy Regional Commander said Osei-Wusu had already been arraigned and remanded into prison custody.
He appealed to the public to volunteer vital information for the arrest of �Gome� and �Shasha�.
