The two thieves, Kwesi Annor and Godwin Achor
The Madina Divisional Police Command in Ghana has arrested two
suspected thieves for allegedly breaking into the house of a reverend
minister and stealing various items valued at thousands of Ghanaian
cedis.
According to Daily Graphic, the two suspects, identified as Kwesi
Annor, 25, and Godwin Achor, 27, are alleged to be behind a number of
burglaries in Madina and its environs.
It was gathered that the two who are masons had used the privilege
of their jobs to survey the homes of people who hire their services for
masonry work and later break into those homes, either in the night or in
the afternoon, to loot.
Madina Divisional Police Commander, Chief Superintendent of Police
Mr Natogmah Aggrey Yakubu, said the two were arrested following a report
by the reverend minister (name withheld) that some persons had broken
into his house and made away with some items.
He said the victim, who lived at Redco Flats at Madina, hired
Achor’s services in his house on June 18, 2016 and paid him his full
wage as agreed at the end of the day.
However, Mr Yakubu said, police investigations established that
Achor and Annor went to the reverend minister’s house later in the
evening while he was away.
The police found that they used a screw driver to open the sliding
window leading to the victim’s room and made away with some valuables.
The suspects made away with a laptop, an Ipad, mobile phones, an MP3 and GH¢6,000.
Upon their arrest, the laptop, mobile phones and the Ipad were
retrieved. Later, the suspects, who had claimed they had shared the
money, gave the police GH¢1,000 and claimed that was what was left.
During investigations, it was found that Achor, who was the
mastermind of the crime, had been involved in other break-ins in the
Madina area.
