The Weija Divisional Police Command at the weekend arrested two persons for allegedly blocking with rocks the entrance to the China Mall, at Weija, in Accra.
They are James Mensah 42, facility manager of West Hills Mall and Samuel Annum Adjei, 44, a contractor, were in the custody of the Weija police, assisting in investigations.
The Public Relations Officer of the Accra Regional Police Command, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Juliana Obeng, confirmed the arrest to the Ghanaian Times in Accra yesterday.
She said at about 2 am on Saturday, the police at Weija received a distress call from the security man at China Mall that some persons dumped rocks from a truck onto the entrance of the China mall, behind the West Hills Mall.
DSP Obeng said when the police went to the scene, they observed that the entrance to the mall had been blocked with rocks.
She said when the two suspects saw the police they took to their heels, but they were later arrested and taken to the command for questioning.
According to DSP Obeng, preliminary investigations indicated that the West Hills Mall was in competition with the China Mall.
She said the rocks have been moved from the entrance of the China Mall, and investigations into the case continued.
