A Kumasi Circuit Court has remanded two persons for stealing three cell phones belonging to a scrap dealer. Mohammed Zaribin, 19, unemployed, and Kwaku Hagan, 35, a scrap dealer, face additional charge of stealing cash of GH�500 from Abdul Fuseini, the scrap dealer.
They have denied the offence and would re-appear on Friday November 6. Police Chief Inspector Archibald Kwesi Fandoh told the Court presided over by Mr. Justice Emmanuel Amoh-Yartey that Zaribin was an errand boy to the complainant at Aboabo in Kumasi.
On October 21, Fuseini left his phones in the house when going to the workplace and asked Zaribin to go and bring them. He said Zaribin returned empty-handed and said he could not find the phones.
Zaribin thereafter went into hiding at Techiman but was arrested and brought back to Kumasi. He admitted stealing the phones and said he had given them to Hagan at the Race Course. Zaribin, however, denied stealing the money. Hagan confessed receiving the phones from Zaribin and said he had sold them to an unknown person.
