The Toase Magistrate Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality has fined a 19-year-old farmer GH₵ 4,800.00 for stealing five sacks of ginger valued at GH₵17,500.00 at Gyankobaa near Toase.
Daniel Mahama pleaded guilty to stealing and was convicted on his own plea.
He will serve 12 months' imprisonment in default of the fine.
Police Detective Chief Inspector Ntim Boadu, prosecuting, told the court presided over by Mr. Robert Addo that both the accused person and Mary Appiah, the complainant, were farmers and residents of Gyankobaa.
He said the two sons of the complainant had informed her that they had seen the accused harvesting her ginger on several occasions.
On March 21, the complainant went to the farm where she caught Mahama red-handed in the act and reported him to the Toase police.
Mahama, who was arrested by the police, admitted the offence in his caution statement.
He told the police that he sold the ginger to a woman whose name he could not provide.
After further investigations, he was charged and brought before the court.
