The Assin-Praso Fosu District Court has remanded three suspected thieves into police custody for allegedly breaking into the ICT Laboratory of the Assin Juaso M/A Basic School in the Fosu Municipality of the Central Region.
They are 17-year-old Emmanuel Opoku, also known as Kobby Stone, a driver, Bernard Egyir aged 33, and Majeed Osman, a mason.
They allegedly stole five desktop monitors, six mice, two keyboards, a backup battery and a system unit.
They pleaded guilty to the charge of unlawful entry and stealing and are expected to reappear before the court on Thursday, September 14.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Benjamin Doe Kuwornu told the court, presided over by Mr Abdul Majeed Iliasu, that all the accused persons were residents of Juaso.
He said on Sunday, August 20, the suspects connived and stole the items from the school premises and conveyed them to Kumasi to meet a buyer.
However, luck eluded them when a police patrol team chanced upon them and became suspicious about their movements as they carried the luggage on the streets.
Upon interrogation, they admitted the offence and through identification, the computers were tracked to the school, where the authorities said they had reported the case to the police in Assin Fosu.
Subsequently, the police in Kumasi handed the accused persons over to the Assin Fosu police.
