A messenger at the Bank of Ghana in Tamale is helping the Police in their investigation into the circumstances that led to the stealing of 100 million cedis from the bank's vault last Tuesday.

A police source told the press on Tuesday that 67 million cedis has so far been retrieved from the messenger, whose name was being withheld to facilitate the investigations.

His alleged accomplice also a messenger at the bank is said to be on the run.

The messenger was arrested when he returned the money to the bank after confessing his role in the burglary to the wife.

Mr Prince Astanga Clement, Branch Manager of the Bank was also tight-lipped saying only, that officials from the head office are carrying out their own investigations.

"This is an internal matter and it is not worth pursuing", he told the press.
