A driver's mate, arrested over the
snatching of GH¢4,070.00 cash from an ex-soldier, has been sentenced to
700 days imprisonment by the Nyinahin Magistrate's Court.
Gideon Agyei, 18, was convicted after he pleaded guilty to the offence.
He committed the crime on January 13 at Sreso-Timpom in the Atwima-Mponua District.
The ex-military man, Mr Martin Broni, was carrying the money in a polythene bag and as he attempted to board a bus, the convict snatched the bag and fled into the bush.
Police Inspector Daniel Otabil told the court, presided over by Mr Sam Nibi, that some young men in the community chased the convict and arrested him.
The prosecution said he was handed over to the police and that GH¢2,070.00 of the stolen amount was retrieved.
