Inspector Amponsah said the complainant suddenly woke up and saw the convict but remained quiet and watched him pick his mobile phone valued 200 Ghana cedis and slipped it into his pocket.
Collins afterwards picked the complainant’s bag and was about to sneak out of the room when he got up and raised alarm and the convict was arrested.
The Prosecutor said he told the police that he entered the complainant’s room to seek refuse from some thieves who were pursuing him and took the mobile phone and used it as flash light as the room was dark.
