Bekwai court jails driver 10 years for stealing
The Asante Bekwai Circuit Court has sentenced a driver to ten years imprisonment in hard labour for stealing items valued GHC25,000.00.
Isaac Owusu denied conspiring with one Paa Yaw (at large), to break into the premises of Mr and Mrs Appiagyei, (resident abroad) to steal the items.
However, he was found culpable at the end of the trial and sentenced accordingly.
Police Detective Chief Inspector Stephen Ofori told the Court presided over by Mr Mark Timarah Diboro that the complainant is the caretaker of the couple’s residence.
He said on October 6, 2020, the convict who lived at Nkawie came to Boagyaa-Besease, where his aunty lived for treatment towards a purported accident he had in Kumasi.
