Inspector Alice Adjei narrated that Felix Yeboah, a loading boy at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, visited Bismark Obeng’s shop around 2:30 PM on the day of the incident. He claimed he wanted to purchase dirty oil. Upon learning there was none available, Felix Yeboah left the premises.

Later that evening, around 10:00 PM, Bismark Obeng was asleep in his shop when he heard noises. Upon investigation, he found Felix Yeboah hiding behind a Honda Civic brought in for repairs. Sensing trouble, Bismark Obeng raised an alarm, prompting Felix Yeboah to flee.

A chase ensued, and when Felix Yeboah realised Bismark Obeng was closing in, he ran into the Nima Police Station. There, he reportedly hid the stolen mirror from the Honda Civic under one of the accident vehicles parked at the station.

Police arrested Felix Yeboah and retrieved the stolen mirror. During interrogation, Felix Yeboah admitted to the theft in his caution statement. He was subsequently charged and arraigned before the Kaneshie District Court.
