Head of Department of Research at the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Center (KAIPTC), Professor Kwesi Aning says similar incident like that of the James town bullion van attack likely to happen across the country.
Speaking on the ”Morning Starr” programme he said that attacks like the Jamestown bullion van is like to happen again in the country because the correlation between crime, arrest and prosecution is not a positive one.
“What happened yesterday is going to continue to happen across the country. The supposed bullion vans are only pick-up trucks. They are ordinary vehicles masquerading as bullion vans. It’s not surprising. It will get worse because the correlation between crime, arrest, and prosecution is not a positive one,” he stated.
He urged the police to review the security measures to deal with the increasing attacks because the criminals are smart.
“Look, on top of the IGP is also the Police Council. There are multiple levels at which institutional oversight and control need to kick in. These criminals are smart. They’ve seen the masquerading going on so been embolden overtime”.
Meanwhile the police has placed a Ghs20,000 bounty on the bullion van robbers. This will be awarded any one who gives information about their whereabout.
