He pleaded guilty for unlawful entry, causing damage to a money
deposit safe and stealing a Baikal Single Shot gun belonging to the
Produce Buying Company (PBC) at Breman Toboase. He is a native of Gomoa Ngyerase in the Central Region.
Narrating the case to the court, presided over by Mr Kwesi Boakye
Ennimil, Police Chief Inspector Gershon Awuyee, said the complainant
of the case is a purchasing clerk with the PBC at Breman Toboase. He said on February 29 this year, at about 0100 hours, the witness
in the case, who is the night watchman at the company’s office in
Toboase, heard an unusual noise and rushed to the scene to find that
the accused and two others were breaking a metal safe belonging to the
company.
But when they saw him, they took to their heels. He said the watchman, therefore, called the complainant on the phone and when he came to the office detected that his Baikal Single Shot Gun was stolen and the metal safe tampered with.
The prosecutor said the complainant reported the case to the
Breman Asikuma Police, explaining that the accused, some months
earlier, had broken into the same shed and stolen some dried cocoa
beans for which he was arrested later.
The police said, on March 3, however, the accused was seen in
town with the gun and was arrested and sent to the chief of the town
where he confessed that it was one Isaac Ardan and Joe Amponsah, who
stole the gun and gave it to him for safe keeping.
Dadzie was, consequently, handed over to the police. The police said Ardan was also arrested later but in court, Dadzie said both Isaac Ardan and Joe Amponsah were not his accomplices, but he mentioned their names because of the pain he was going through when he was arrested and sent to the chief’s palace.
The court ordered the police to return the gun to PBC.
