Nkawie, (Ash), Aug. 16, GNA – The Nkawie
circuit court has remanded a 19-year-old driver’s mate into prison custody for
allegedly stealing a brand new motorbike valued at GHȼ7,000.00.
Samuel Atta is said to have stolen the
motorbike when the owner who was travelling from Abuakwa to Kumasi, suddenly
fell ill and parked the bike at a filling station at Sofoline to attend a
nearby hospital.
He pleaded not guilty and will reappear
before the court presided over by Mr Michael Johnson Abbey on August 29, this
year.
Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP)
Sylvanus D’almeida told the court that the owner of the motorbike, who suddenly
fell unconscious when he got to the Sofoline area, was rushed to the Suntreso
government hospital, where he was admitted.
He said three days later, two ladies who were
present when the owner parked the bike at the filling station, saw Atta pushing
the bike away.
They went to the hospital and informed the
owner who instructed them to report the incident to Sofoline police who then
arrested the accused and brought him before the court.
