A 25-year old car thief was on Monday sentenced to 25 years imprisonment by a Kumasi Circuit Court presided over by Mr Justice Emmanuel Amoh-Yartey.
\nFrimpong Boadu pleaded guilty to stealing a pick-up. Police Chief Inspector Archibald Kwesi Fandoh told the court that the complainant, Kojo Appiah, works with Adomkop Limited, a construction company located at Ash-Town in Kumasi while the convict also resides at Patasi, in the Metropolis.
\nAt about 0900 hours on Thursday, January 27, Appiah parked the car in front of the company and spent 30 minutes in the premises. The prosecution said when he came out he saw Boadu driving the car away and shouted for help.
\nHe said a motor rider gave Boadu a hot chase and caught up with him at Alar Bar, where he had crashed the stolen pick-up into another car. Some passers-by helped to arrest and hand Boadu over to the police. Police Chief Inspector Fandoh said during investigations it came out that the convict managed to start the engine with the ignition key of a KIA vehicle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
