A notorious armed robber, Gideon Addai, aged 27, who has been terrorizing the lives of residents of Assin Fosu has been arrested by the youth of the town.

He was grabbed Monday dawn after attacking a victim at gunpoint and subjected to severe beatings.

Four accomplices took to their heels after his arrest.

A timely intervention from a police patrol team prevented the youth from lynching the suspect.

He’s currently is in police custody assisting investigations.

Items retrieved include locally manufactured pistol, cartridges, scissors, knives, weed, matches and other items.
