Police in the Western have arrested Frank Kojo Eshun, 35, the leader of the syndicate that allegedly defrauded the Juabeso District Assembly of GH106,900 in September this year.
   
He was arrested at his hideout at Asamankese in the Eastern Region.
   
Speaking to the GNA, at Takoradi, at the weekend, Assistant Superintendent of Police, Mr Richard Bortey, said the suspect would be put before court on November 10, with the other three accomplices who were granted bail in the sum of GHC40,000.
    
Mr. Bortey said Eshun would be remanded in Police custody to assist the Police in their investigations to arrest three other accomplices who are at large.
   
It would be recalled that the Police arrested one Nana Kwasi Okyere when he attempted to cash a fake cheque for GHC37,800 from the accounts of the Juabeso District Assembly at the Bank of Ghana on September 15, at Takoradi.
   
Police investigations led to the arrest of David Gorman Hammond and Emmanuel Ayah, officials of the Juabeso District Assembly.
