The Asante Akropong District court in the Atwima Nwabiagya North District has remanded two friends into prison custody for allegedly stealing two Urvan buses at Akropong and Atwima Koforidua.
The pleas of Michael Ofosu, a 24-year-old conductor, and Grace Baidoo, a 21-year-old Mobile Money vendor, were not taken and they would reappear before the court on November 26, this year.
Police Detective Inspector Alexander Agbekpornu, prosecuting, told the court presided over by Emmanuel Wiafe Adu that the vehicles belonged to two different complainants.
He said, in the first week of October this year, the complainant, Samuel Kankam, reported to the Akropong police that his Nissan Urvan bus with registration number GT 7940-Q valued at GH₵90,000, had been stolen from the Akropong Goil filling station.
He said, within the same week, complainant Gideon Addo also reported the theft of his Nissan Urvan vehicle with registration number AS 8321-19 valued at GH₵130,000 at Atwima Koforidua, and the police started tracking investigations.
According to the prosecution, the mobile numbers of the accused persons cropped up, and when the complainant contacted them, they admitted keeping the vehicles and demanded money before the release of the vehicles.
Prosecution said, on November 10, 2025, they were arrested from their hideouts at Akitibobom near Mamponteng in the Kwabere East Municipality upon intelligence.
Prosecution told the court that one of the vehicles had been retrieved at Mamponteng and investigations were continuing into the matter.
