Thief traced using stolen AirPods
In August 2023, YEN.com.gh reported that a thief, Bortey Borteye, was arrested after he broke into a room at Nungua in Accra and stole cash and personal effects, including an Apple AirPods.
30-year-old Bortey's decision to steal the AirPods helped police track the gadget on the complainant's phone, leading to his arrest.
He was jailed on two counts for five and two years, but the sentences will run concurrently.
A 19-year-old man was also jailed 17 years after stabbing a woman and robbing her of GH¢976 in August 2023.
