South Municipality, who have been convicted and jailed several times by the
Nkawie Circuit Court, has again been sentenced to three years imprisonment by
the same Court for stealing.

Ernest Berko
who completed a one-year jail term in July this year, was arrested on August
15, this year for stealing mobile phones and an amount of GH¢500.00 at Toase.

He pleaded
guilty to the charge and was sentenced on his own plea by the Court presided
over by Mr Michael Johnson Abbey.

Police
Inspector Ruth Gborson told the Court that the complainant who detected the
theft of his items and money, got information that the phone was in the
possession of the convict.

He made a
report to the Nkawie police who arrested him and during interrogation, the
convict admitted the offence and he was therefore, charged and brought before
the court.
