Three final year students of the Opoku Ware Senior High School were arrested for their alleged involvement in a robbery incident in Kumasi on Tuesday, 16th August, 2022.
Sources at the Ashanti Central Divisional Command say the three students failed in their attempt to snatch a taxi cab from its driver on Friday night.
The driver picked the suspects from the Santasi suburb. The passengers sought his services under the pretext of travelling to the Lancaster Kumasi City, formerly Golden Tulip Hotel, in the Nhyiaeso suburb.
But upon reaching the Rattray Park area, the three impressed on the driver to hand over the ignition keys to them or risk being stabbed.
A struggle for the keys ensued between the suspects and the driver. Eventually, the vehicle hit a wall along the Ridge Police Station and the Royal Golf Park Junction.
