The Court ordered monies retrieved from Tetteh to be given to the complainants to offset their loss.

He said on October 16, 2021, at about 0400 hours they detected that their room had been burgled and an amount of £5,000, GHC4,000.00, a wristwatch valued at €250.00, a Samsung Galaxy S6 mobile phone valued at €200.00, and a Samsung note 8 mobile phone valued at GHC6400.00 were missing.

Chief Inspector Benneh said the Samsung Galaxy S6 mobile phone had an application for tracking the device.

He said a team of police officers from Mamprobi led by the District Commander tracked the missing mobile phone to Tetteh’s place of abode at Chorkor.

When his room was searched, the team found a cash amount of €2,790.00, GHC4,000.00, three Samsung mobile phones, one LG mobile phone, a techno mobile phone, an Infinix mobile phone, an Itel mobile phone, a faulty wristwatch, five necklaces, nine perfumes, eight kitchen knives, three cutlasses, a hammer, and screwdrivers.

Subsequently, the items were retrieved from his uncle, and he was arrested.

The prosecution said fishing nets and ropes valued at GHC60,000.00, as well as a Yamaha outboard motor valued at GHC19,000.00, were also retrieved from his room.
