A top official of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) in the Central Region, Douglas Hammond is due to appear before the Swedru Circuit Court tomorrow, Wednesday, December 18, 2019 in connection with an alleged car robbery case.
Mr. Hammond who is said to be an Executive member of one of the biggest political parties in the Cape Coast North Constituency will appear in the court alongside some armed robbers who have been arrested for stealing two cars, a Toyota Camry and a Toyota Corolla.
He will be appearing before the court alongside the two armed robbers, Maxwell Bortey and Vince Gadagasu.
A third suspect, Eric Sena is said to be at large and being hunted by the police.
Information available to BestNewsGH.com indicates that Mr. Hammond has been noted for allegedly receiving stolen cars from armed robbers and facilitating the sale of these vehicles.
His cover was however blown when the two armed robbers were arrested for robbing a Toyota Camry salon car belonging to one Mrs. Josephine Bisung bearing registration number CR 9615-19 in her house in Winneba, prompting investigations which led to the arrest of Mr. Hammond.
This portal is informed that the husband of the robbery victim, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Mr. Emmanuel Bisung was the one who lodged a complaint with the police in Winneba leading to the arrest of the suspects.
This website has been informed by some of the police officers involved in the matter that they, together with the robbery victims have been receiving threats from Mr. Hammond’s superiors and other top politicians who are calling for the release of the suspect.
For example, one Mr Essel who is said to be a close friend of Mr. Hammond and who doubles as an executive of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Cape Coast has allegedly been harassing the police to release Mr. Hammond from their custody.
BestNewsGH.com is keenly following this case and will keep readers posted on any further developments after the court proceedings tomorrow.
