The Police in Accra have arrested one Wisdom Cudjoe, a notorious car burglar for breaking into cars.
He was arrested on Saturday, March 20 in his mansion at Kasoa Opeikuma, after he was captured by a CCTV camera forcibly breaking into one of his targeted cars at Osu.
The suspect had been on police wanted list following numerous reports received from victims of vehicle break-ins with personal belongings stolen.
He has a case pending in Circuit Court 10 on similar charges but was granted a court bail only to be caught committing the same offence.
Police analysis indicates that the perpetrator comes all the way from Kasoa to steal at Osu, Baastona, Spintex road, Cantonments, Odorkor and Dansoman within the hours of 6:pm – 9:pm.
