The Police have begun investigations into last week Monday’s robbery at the residence of Police Public Relations (PRO) chief, DSP Angwubutoge Awuni.
Chronicle gathered that statements from eyewitnesses, including the mother of DSP Awuni and the Police PRO chief himself, have been taken to assist in the investigations.
Sources say the lead gathered by the police so far has been useful.
The robbery of Awuni’s residence was the second in almost a month and the second since his recall as Ashanti Regional PRO to serve in his old role as the Chief Police PRO in the nation’s capital few months ago.
The first time Awuni was robbed was on October 30th.
Chronicle learnt that the recent armed robbery took place when the mother of Awuni was left at the family’s residence at Dunkona, a suburb of Bortianor in the Greater Accra Region.
The robbers seized the opportunity and struck.
The robbers used weapons to break into the house, the mother of the victim told the police.
Chronicle gathered that Awuni’s mother managed to save her life by sneaking into a nearby bush.
The robbers took away a fax machine, a video deck, an unspecified amount of cash and a Minolta camera bought by the Police PRO chief during his United Nations duty tour of the Balkans
Both robberies on Awuni were preceded by phone calls warning the police official that he would be paid back for his vocal anti-crime stance, especially in the media.
