The Juabeng Circuit court in the Ashanti
Region has sentenced two men to one month
in prison for unlawful entry and stealing.
Reports say the men unlawfully broke into a
drinking spot belonging to one Kwasi Poku
at Mamponteng and made away with some
bottles of alcoholic drinks and other items.
Kwasi Poku told Adom News he travelled to
his hometown for some weeks but received a
distress call from his worker that some
unknown persons had broken into his shop.
“I was away on a trip when I had a call that
some thieves have broken into my spot and
made away with some alcoholic drinks and
some undisclosed amount of money and
even packs of cigarettes.
Kwasi Poku said he reported the matter to
the police and both accused persons were
arrested.
“Some neighbours who actually saw those
thieves informed me and we reported the
case to the police which led to their arrest”
he said.
The court presided over by Comfort Tafiama
sentenced the men after they pleaded guilty
to stealing.
They were found guilty on the count of
unlawful entry and stealing.
