The police officer said the incident occurred on December 22, 2024, at Obeng’s workshop.
Inspector Alice Adjei narrated that Yeboah, a loading boy at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, visited Obeng’s shop around 2:30 PM on the day of the incident.
He claimed that Yeboah wanted to purchase dirty oil, but when he learned none was available, the accused left the premises.
Later that evening, around 10:00 PM, Obeng was asleep in his shop when he heard noises. Upon investigation, he reportedly found Yeboah hiding behind a Honda Civic brought in for repairs.
Sensing trouble, Obeng raised an alarm, prompting Yeboah to flee. A chase ensued and the accused fled to the Nima Police Station. There, he reportedly hid the stolen mirror from the Honda Civic under one of the crashed vehicles at the station.
Police arrested Yeboah and retrieved the stolen mirror. During interrogation, he admitted to the theft in his caution statement. He was subsequently charged and arraigned before the Kaneshie District Court.
The prosecution stated that Yeboah’s actions were premeditated, considering his earlier visit to the workshop under the guise of purchasing dirty oil.
The court, presided over by His Worship Nana Adjei Frempong, granted bail with conditions to ensure Felix Yeboah’s availability for further proceedings.
According to the GNA, the case has been adjourned to allow additional investigations and preparation for the next court session.
