The timely intervention of some police officers on duty at Dzorwulu traffic on the N1 Highway saved two suspected thieves from being lynched.

The suspects who are said to be Nigerians were beaten mercilessly with sticks, stones and were given hefty blows by hawkers in the area.

They were about to faint when the police intervened to save them.

The incident caused traffic flow to halt for awhile as the angry hawkers subjected the suspects into beatings in the middle of the road.

The suspects, who were wearing black jacket and a pair of trousers and had dreadlocks were said to have allegedly snatched a motor bike they were riding in Ashaiman on Tuesday afternoon and sped off to Accra by using the Tema-Accra Motorway.

The owner of the motorbike reportedly used another motorbike and pursued them.

An eyewitness who spoke to Oman News said the suspects who were riding the stolen motorbike upon reaching the Dzorwulu Traffic Lights intersection attempted to make a detour into Dzorwulu because the lights was showing red.

He said unfortunately for them they were knocked by an incoming vehicle Lapaz.

The suspects then took to their heels, but the owner raised an alarm leading to their arrest.
