Two blood thieves arrested at Korle Bu

Security at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital has arrested two suspected blood thieves.

The security officials at the country’s premier hospital carried out a special operation on Saturday, May 22, at about 2 am upon a tip-off.

After mounting surveillance on the third floor of the Surgical unit, they pounced on the thieves when they attempted to steal several pints of blood stored for use after surgical procedures.

“The suspects have been handed over to the Korle Bu Police, which has initiated investigations into the case,” the Public Relations Unit of the hospital said in a statement.

The hospital entreated staff to be vigilant when they see any suspicious activity at the hospital and immediately alert security officials.
