A Winneba Magistrate Court has sentenced a 19-year-old unemployed man to 12 months imprisonment for stealing two nanny goats and a mobile phone.
Nyarko pleaded guilty on both counts when he appeared before the court, presided over by Mr Isaac Oheneba Kuffuor.
He was subsequently sentenced to serve a 12-month jail term.
The facts of the case as presented by Inspector Peter Agbelie were that on October 7, 2016 at about 2:30 a.m., Samuel Larbi, the complainant in the case, was returning home after watching TV at a drinking spot in the area when he spotted Nyarko coming out of Aunty Aba’s goat pen with a sack on his shoulder.
Inspector Agbelie said when Larbi confronted Nyarko, he dropped the sack on the ground and bolted.
The prosecutor said Larbi raised an alarm and Nyarko was chased and eventually arrested.
Upon inspecting the sacks, the two dead goats and the mobile phone were found.
Prosecutor Agbelie said Nyarko, who admitted to stealing the goats and the phone.
