Muniru Abdulai, a notorious criminal, was on Friday placed on remand by the Dormaa Circuit Court for allegedly possessing a stolen motorbike and resisting lawful arrest.
Muniru was caught riding the bike with an accomplice identified as Francois who fled when the Nkrankwanta police tried to arrest them.
Muniru would re-appear before the court on October 19.
Police Inspector George Kumah told the court presided over by Mr. Alexander Osei-Tutu that Muniru was a known criminal at Nkrankwanta but had always managed to evade the police.
He said on September 30, the Nkrankwanta police had a tip-off that Muniru and Francois were riding a stolen motorbike towards Nkrankwanta.
Prosecution said the police quickly mounted a barrier on the Diabaa-Nkrankwanta road to apprehend them but they ignored the police signal for them to stop and sped off.
He said when they realized that the police were catching up with them, they abandoned the motorbike and bolted.
"Later on Muniru was later sighted in a bush and was arrested after a fierce struggle but Francois was nowhere to be found", Inspector Kumah added.
