Monrovia - Joseph Sonpon – the man believed to be behind most of the armed robberies in Monrovia – has finally been arrested by the Liberia National Police (LNP). The 29-year-old suspect was arrested by the Anti-Robbery Unit of the LNP with two single barrel guns and rounds of ammunition. He is also said to be involved in armed robbery activities in New Kru Town, Carey Street, Paynesville and other suburbs of Monrovia. In a related development police in Monrovia have step up a massive man hunt for five unidentified suspected armed robbers who are said to be armed and dangerous weapons. Coleman said while the LNP has the statutory responsibility to fight crimes and at the same time protect life and property, the community involvement in the process was essential.
