She said preliminary investigations suggest that the suspect, together with other accomplices still at large, allegedly intercepted a vehicle transporting proceeds from a jewellery sale to a bank.
The group, reportedly armed with AK-47 rifles, fired several shots to ward off bystanders, injuring the driver before escaping with the money.
DCOP Donkor noted that a manhunt has been launched for the remaining suspects, adding that the police are working to recover the stolen funds.
She encouraged members of the public with relevant information to contact the nearest police station to assist in the investigations.
