A 21-year-old barber accused of stealing GH¢6,000.00 at Apatrapa in the Kwadaso Municipality has been granted bail of GH¢6,000.00 with one surety to be justified by the court.
Gerrard Dwomo, who pleaded not guilty, is scheduled to reappear before the Asante Akropong Circuit Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District on January 29, 2025.
Before the bail bond can be executed, the police are required to inspect the address he provided, AP13-Apatrapa, to confirm its existence and verify if he resides there.
Police Chief Inspector Ruth Gborson, presenting the facts of the case, identified Juliana Owusu Gyamfi, a resident of Apatrapa, as the complainant.
Chief Inspector Gborson explained that on January 11, 2025, at approximately 7:00 a.m., the complainant discovered that GH¢6,000.00 in cash had been stolen from her handbag, which was in front of her dressing mirror.
Upon reviewing footage from her doorbell camera, she saw the accused stealing the money. She subsequently reported the incident to the Abuakwa police.
During the police investigation, items seen on the accused in the camera footage-namely a bracelet, a waist bag, and a ring-were found in his room.
In his caution statement, the accused denied the theft. However, after further investigation, he was charged and brought before the court.
