Loading boy returns €3,000, GH¢1,000 lost in vehicle to owner

The Divisional Crime Officer of the Koforidua Central Police Station, DSP Augustine Asante Kusi, has rewarded a loading boy, Jonathan Quaicoe, for his honesty and integrity after he returned a bag containing a substantial amount of money that had been left behind in a vehicle.

Jonathan Quaicoe is reported to have found and returned a bag containing €3,000, equivalent to almost GH¢40,000 and GH¢1,000 that had reportedly been left behind in a commercial vehicle travelling from Accra to Koforidua.

According to multiple reports, Quaicoe, a loading boy operating at Ayi Mensah in the Greater Accra Region, found the bag while on duty and subsequently handed it over to the police.

The police said a woman boarded a commercial Toyota Hiace at Ghana Flag in the Greater Accra Region, travelling to Koforidua with the bag containing the cash.

Upon arriving in Koforidua, the woman, together with the driver and mate of the vehicle, realised that the bag was missing.

She subsequently reported the matter to the Koforidua Central Police Station, prompting the New Juaben South Police Command to deploy an investigation team to Accra to trace the missing bag.

The investigation team, comprising police personnel and drivers, gathered information during their enquiries indicating that the bag was in the possession of Jonathan Quaicoe, who operates around Ayi Mensah.

Quaicoe subsequently returned the bag and its contents to the police, bringing the search for the missing money to a successful end.

In recognition of his honesty and integrity, the woman who owned the money reportedly rewarded Quaicoe, while the police also presented him with a brand-new mobile phone for his exemplary conduct.

In a video shared on social media showing DSP Augustine Asante Kusi rewarding Quaicoe, the police officer urged members of the public to emulate his example by handing over lost valuables to the police.

DSP Asante Kusi said acts of honesty and integrity were essential to creating a safer and more trusting society.

“For doing this good, may God bless you. As you have made them worry less, may God also help you, relieve you of all your troubles, protect you, and grant you your heart’s desires,” he said to Quaicoe.

An honest and patriotic citizen has been commended and rewarded by the Ghana Police Service in Koforidua after returning a lost bag containing £3,000 and GH¢1,000 to its rightful owner.
