A 19-year-old scrap dealer has appeared before the Adabraka District Court for stealing items at the SIC yard, South Industrial Area branch.<\/p>\n

Kwaku Issahaku is alleged to have stolen a one-door unit air conditioner, valued at GHC4,000, a Hyundai Santafe bumper, valued at GHC800 and Hyundai Santafe door, valued at GHC1,000 belonging to the SIC.<\/p>\n

Issahaku, charged with unlawful entry and stealing, pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n

He is said to have told the police that he scaled the wall of the SIC yard on September 27, 2025, to fetch firewood.<\/p>\n

The court has admitted him to bail in the sum of GHC5,000 with two sureties.<\/p>\n

The prosecution, led by Chief Inspector Apeweh Achana, said the complainant was the System Administrator of a security firm at North Industrial Area, Kaneshie, while the accused person was a resident of Konkomba, Accra.<\/p>\n

On September 27, a witness in the case, Sakibu Fataw, who works with Lions Security Company, was detailed as a private security guard at SIC, South Industrial Area.<\/p>\n

The court heard that at about 5:30 pm, the security guard heard a strange noise inside the yard, upon which he followed up.<\/p>\n

The security guard spotted Issahaku carrying the one-door unit Air-conditioner, one Hyundai Santafe door, and a Hyundai Santafe bumper belonging to the SIC.<\/p>\n

The accused person was arrested together with the items and sent to the Kaneshie Police Station.<\/p>\n

During investigations, he admitted the offence and said he scaled the company\u2019s fence wall in search of firewood.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
