    LET THE POLICE RAID THAT VILLAGE AND ROUND UP EVERYBODY WITHIN. ALL THE ITEMS CAN BE RETRIEVED.

    THEY SHOULD FIRST PICK THAT BRAINLESS OLD WOMAN WHO WAS INTERVIEWED.

    I am glad to read that people condemn this stealing. Ghanaians are in deep danger of losing our humanity. Stealing from accident vehicles is immoral and ungodly. Arrest the thieves.
