The court presided over by Mr Albert Owusu Annor ordered Mensah to pay GH¢120 in respect of the stolen items. Mensah, 20, who pleaded guilty for unlawful entry and stealing, would serve 18 months prison term in hard labour in default.
Prosecuting, Police Chief Inspector Kwadwo Ahenkorah said Madam Gladys Koomson, a food vendor and Mr Godwin Osei, who are the complainants live at Jamaica, a suburb of Akim Oda, where the convict also lives.
On February 1, at the close of work Madam Koomson parked her cooking utensils including two iron cooking pots and frying pan on her veranda and went to bed. According to the prosecutor at about 0300 hours on February 2 Mensah jumped over Madam Koomson’s fence and entered the house with a stick in hand and stole the cooking utensils. Mensah proceeded to Mr Osei’s mother’s chop bar and stole two mobile phones worth GH¢120. The convict was apprehended and handed over to the police.
