Police in Fadama in the Greater Accra Region have arrested four suspected car snatchers who attacked and robbed a taxi driver of his vehicle in Suhum, in the Eastern Region, on July 2, 2016.

The four youngsters were however picked up at Kokomba Market in Accra around 11:00 p.m. upon a tip-off.

The suspects had then offered to sell the newly registered taxi cab, with registration number, GG 2131-16, as a scrap at the market.
