A 24-year-old thief identified simply as Samson, has been apprehended by community watch volunteers in Damongo, the capital of the Savannah Region, after breaking into a provision store and stealing toffees.
According to the community watch team, Samson has been involved in several break-ins across the area, targeting shops and homes.
They had been monitoring his activities for some time, and he was finally caught after entering a store through the ceiling.
Speaking in Gonja, Samson admitted to the theft but claimed he was not acting alone, stating that his accomplice had fled the scene.
