The Odumase-Krobo Circuit Court has granted Stephen Djabatey and Emmanuel Teye bail in the sum of GH�15,000, each with two sureties to be justified when they appeared before the court for stealing.
The two, however, pleaded not guilty to the charges of causing unlawful damage, unlawful entry and stealing.
Presenting the facts to the court, ASP Richmond Akwasi Yeboah, the prosecutor told the court that Narh Yohanes, the complainant, is a businessman who deals in mobile phones and phone accessories at Mampong, a suburb of Odumase-Krobo.
He said Djabatey, 18; and Teye, 19; both labourers, lived in the same area with the complainant.
The prosecutor said at about 11: 00 p.m. on May 1, 2014, the two and two others, who are at large, were found hovering around the complainant�s container shop at Mampong , Odumase- Krobo by witnesses in the case.
ASP Yeboah said when the accused persons realised that people were monitoring their movements, they left the area.
The prosecutor said not long after, the two returned to the complainant�s shop which further raised the suspicion of the witnesses in the case.
The prosecutor said the following morning when Yohanes went to his shop, he realised that the shop had been broken into. After taking stock of his items, he realised that 56 assorted mobile phones valued at Gh�4,735; phone accessories valued at Gh�2,205, assorted phone credit cards valued at Gh�500, four vodaphone modems valued at Gh�220, three MTN modems valued at Gh�165 and GH�3,000 cash had been stolen.
He said a report was made to the police leading to the arrest of the two.
During police interrogation, Djabatey and Teye denied any knowledge and involvement in the case.
However, after the investigation, they were charged with the offences.
The court urged the police to intensify the search for the other two accomplices who are on the run.
