A 21-year-old barber, accused of stealing GH¢6,000 from someone at Apatrapa in the Kwadaso Municipality, has been granted GH¢6,000 bail with one surety to be justified, by the Asante Akropong Circuit Court.
Gerrard Dwomo pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to reappear before the court in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District on January 29, 2025.
Before the bail bond can be executed, the police will inspect the address, AP13-Apatrapa, that he provided as his residence to confirm its validity.
Police Chief Inspector Ruth Gborson, presenting the facts of the case, identified Juliana Owusu Gyamfi as the complainant, a resident of Apatrapa.
Chief Gborson explained that on January 11, at around 7 a.m., the complainant discovered that GH¢6,000 had been stolen from her handbag, which she had left in front of her dressing mirror.
Upon reviewing footage from her doorbell camera, she saw the accused stealing the money and reported the theft to the Abuakwa police.
Further investigation led to the discovery of a bracelet, waist bag, and ring — items visible on the accused in the footage — in his room.
In his caution statement, the accused denied the theft, but after additional investigation, he was charged and brought before the court.
