2 ammo thieves were cops' sons

Two of the students of the Adisadel College at Cape Coast involved in the theft of ammunition from the Central Regional Police armoury have been identified to be children of police personnel.

They are Stephen Atsu Kudoto 18, and John Aboagye Gyimah, 20, who is on the run.

The students are sons of Chief Inspector M.V.K. Kudoto, stationed at the cape Coast Regional Criminal Investigations Department (CID) and Deputy Police Commissioner (DPC) Owusu Nsiah, Quarter Master General at the Police Headquarters in Accra.

The Regional Police Commander, Mr George Obeng, disclosed these at Cape Coast stating that the two students were the brains behind the deal.

Mr Obeng said on June 25, Kudoto teamed up with Gyimah and together with the other three students, jumped a six-feet wall outside the Regional Police Workshop and broke into the armoury with a chisel.

The students took 82 'Thunder shots' in white boxes, packed them into a black traveling bag and sped off.

Kudoto's house is just 10 metres away from the Regional Workshop where the incident took place.
