The Kaneshie District Court has granted bail of GH¢2,000 with two sureties to Felix Yeboah, a loading boy, following his alleged theft of a driving mirror.
Yeboah has denied the charge and is scheduled to return to court on January 13, 2025.
Police Chief Inspector Alice Adjei outlined the facts of the case, stating that the complainant, Bismark Obeng, is an auto mechanic apprentice at Nima.
On December 22, 2024, around 2:30 PM, Yeboah, who works as a loading boy at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, allegedly visited Obeng’s shop and claimed to be purchasing dirty oil.
When informed that there was none available, Yeboah left the shop.
Later that evening, at approximately 10:00 PM, Obeng, who was sleeping in the shop, noticed Yeboah hiding behind a Honda Civic brought in for repairs.
When Obeng raised an alarm, Yeboah fled, and a chase ensued.
According to the prosecution, Yeboah, realizing Obeng was close to catching him, entered the Nima Police Station and hid the stolen mirror from the Honda Civic under one of the accident vehicles parked there.
Yeboah was arrested, and the stolen mirror was recovered.
In his caution statement, Yeboah admitted to the theft, leading to the charges being brought against him in court.
