From Tim Dzamboe, Ho
Two farmers have been remanded into police custody by a Ho Circuit Court for unlawful entry into a private residence and stealing property belonging to the owner.
Wisdom Adekpuitor and Adziraku Asada Kwaku pleaded not guilty to the charges and were remanded by the court, presided over by Mr Justice Ernest Obimpeh, to re-appear on October 15, 2009.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Sampson Kwami Agboada said on September 17, the accused persons broke into the residence of one Samuel Tettey at Dzolo-Gbogame in the Ho Municipality and took away 11 gallons of paint, two high density foam mattresses, one electric iron, one extension cord, hair pomade, a tin each of sardine and milk as well as other household items valued at GH¢636.
He said the complainant, a worker with the Lands Commission in Accra, visited home to detect the theft and reported to the police who after preliminary investigations interrogated the suspects, who admitted committing the offence.
Mr Agboada said some of the items were retrieved from the accused persons.
Mr Obimpeh however, cautioned the police against shielding people who had dishonestly received
some of the stolen items from the suspects and were retrieved from them.
He explained that if those found to have dishonestly received stolen items were legally dealt with they would have no avenue to channel their booty.
