According to the police Commander, the police became suspicious after noticing that Sarfo was inappropriately dressed, as he did not have a beret, a line yard, the power of authority badge and the crown. He was later arrested.

The second suspect, Baah, was arrested on July 1, 2016 when he attempted to extort money from some commercial motorbike riders around the Atomic Junction area.

Baah stressed that he got the police uniform from his brother who was a policeman.

The two are in the custody of the Kwabenya police assisting in investigations.
