Unemployed jailed for stealing students laptops and phones
A Kumasi Circuit Court has sentenced a 26-year old
unemployed man who stole two laptops and cellular
phones from students at the Kwame Nkrumah
University of Science and Technology (KNUST) to 12
months imprisonment.

Theodore Essan Mensah pleaded not guilty.

Police Chief Inspector Comfort Baffour-Kyei told
the court presided over by Mr Justice Emmanuel
Amoh-Yartey that the complainants, Amoako Karikari
Junior and Eva Bonney are both students of the
KNUST.

On March 23, Karikari woke up from his sleep by an
unusual noise and detected that his Dell laptop
computer was missing from his room.

Instinctively, he rushed out only to find Mensah
carrying away the computer and raised the alarm.

The prosecution said this attracted other students
who chased and arrested Mensah.

They retrieved from him the stolen laptops and
cell phones and was handed over to the police.
