Police Chief Inspector Alice Appiakorang, prosecuting, told the court, presided over by Edward Kwame Bosompem Apenkwah, that on October 28, the complainant, a student living in Swedru woke up only to realise that his bicycle, value at 350,000 cedis, which he parked in the kitchen the previous night, was missing. He lodged a report to the police, leading to the arrest of the two convicts together with the bicycle. Chief Inspector Appiakorang said the two admitted stealing the bike in the company of Romeo who had bolted. Source: GNA
