Criminals now posing as ECG officials and shoe makers
The Ghana Police Service has warned the public to
be wary of a fresh modus operandi of criminals,
who pose as staff of ECG and shoe makers.

The police says it has observed a trend where
people who are in league with robbers pose as
officials of the Electricity Company of Ghana and
Ghana Water Company officials enter homes under
the guise of checking meters.

With power outages a regular occurence in many
parts of the country, the robbers have found a
foil to enter homes.

While unsuspecting occupants would be delighted to
know that the so-called ECG officials are there to
help them resolve any nagging problems with their
pre-paid meters, the sefl-styled officials survey
the house to gather information such as exit and
entry points into the house.

The information collected during the day would be
passed on to robbers for a raid at night.

Others pose as plumbers and shoe makers who are
rendering door-to-door services.

Police Public Relations Officer DSP Cephas Arthur
is therefore advising the public to be vigilant.
