The Gyapekrom Police have arrested, a 28-year-old farmer for stealing GHC 6,900.00 belonging to the local Presbyterian Church in the Jaman South District of the Brong-Ahafo Region.<\/p>\n
Superintendent Alhaji Maama Arhin, Brong-Ahafo Regional Police Crime Officer told the Ghana News Agency on Tuesday in Sunyani that complainant in the case Barima Boamah, is the treasurer of the church.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”Up6mgWGSKuAaafsrvlx6leNmKLtArhpY”]He said on Sunday December 14,2014 Boamah took the amount home after an-end-of-year church harvest with the intention of depositing it at the bank the following day.<\/p>\n
The Regional Crime Officer said the suspect Augustine Ntim, a relative of complainant, staying in the same house allegedly climbed the ceiling of Boamah\u2019s room to steal the amount and fled to hide in his farm.<\/p>\n
Superintendent Arhin stated that when Boamah realized that the money had been stolen he inquired from the relatives in the house but Ntim was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n
He said the next day, neighbours assisted Boamah to search for Ntim in the bush and he was eventually found on his farm and sent to the Japekrom Police Station.<\/p>\n
Superintendent Arhin stated that on interrogation, the suspect admitted the offence and led the Police to his farm where the amount had been hidden.<\/p>\n
The Regional Crime Officer said the suspect would be put before the Dormaa-Ahenkro District Magistrate\u2019s Court on Tuesday, December 16 on a charge of stealing.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Superintendent Arhin advised church leaders to deposit their monies with the Police for safe keeping at the weekends when the bank was not working or keep it in a safe to prevent thieves from taking advantage of such situations.<\/p>\n
He cautioned the general public to also desist from keeping huge sums of monies in their stores and homes.<\/p>\n
