Unemployed man arrested for stealing MPs’ toilet roll at Parliament house

Police in parliament has arrested a 49-year-old man for stealing two bundles of toilet roll reserved exclusively for use by legislators.

The man sneaked into Job 600 which is the offices of the lawmakers through the lifts and entered one washroom after another in search of unused bundles of toiletries, MyNewsGH.com’s Nana Kwasi Adom was told.

Upon seeing him leave the building with his “loot”, he was questioned and an alarm was raised by the security stationed around the gates, leading to his arrest.

The man whose name is yet to be given is not a worker at the Law-making house, police said. He was had also not been logged in as a visitor for him to gain access to the Job 600 chamber where he stole the Toilet rolls.
