A 21-year-old scrap dealer who stole a car gearbox estimated at GH₵600 has been sentenced to three years imprisonment in hard labour by a circuit court at Akim Swedru in the Birim South District.
Osumanu Haruna pleaded guilty to unlawful entry and stealing.
Â
The prosecution told the court presided over by Mr. Yaw Atta Sampong that the complainant, Mr. Samuel Marfo is a mechanic and lives at Akim Oda with the scrap dealer.
He said on March 30 this year, at about 15:00 hours, Mr. Marfo went to his shop and realized that Haruna had entered without his (Mr. Marfo’s) knowledge and had stolen a car gearbox valued at GHC600.
The prosecution stated that when Haruna spotted Mr. Marfo he absconded, but people around gave him a hot chase and arrested him.
 He was subsequently handed over to the police.
