Loading boy arraigned over alleged theft of driving mirror

The Kaneshie District Court has granted Felix Yeboah, a loading boy, bail of GH¢2,000 with two sureties following his alleged theft of a driving mirror.

Yeboah has denied the charge and is scheduled to appear in court again on January 13, 2025.

Police Chief Inspector Alice Adjei outlined the facts of the case, stating that Bismark Obeng, an auto mechanic apprentice from Nima, is the complainant.

Yeboah, who works as a loading boy at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, allegedly visited Obeng’s shop on December 22, 2024, around 2:30 p.m., claiming he wanted to buy dirty oil.

However, when told there was none, he left the shop.

Later that evening, around 10:00 p.m., Obeng, who was sleeping in the shop, spotted Yeboah hiding behind a Honda Civic that had been brought in for repairs.

When Obeng raised the alarm, Yeboah fled, prompting a chase.

According to the prosecution, when Yeboah realized Obeng was close to catching him, he entered the Nima Police Station and hid the stolen mirror from the Honda Civic under one of the accident vehicles parked at the station.

Yeboah was arrested, and the stolen mirror was recovered.

In his caution statement, Yeboah admitted to the theft and was subsequently charged before the court.
