The Assin Nsuaem Kyekyewere Circuit Court, presided over by His Lordship Emmanuel Amoh-Yartey, has sentenced Anthony Asirifi, a 36-year-old carpenter, to 10 years' imprisonment.

The sentence serves as a punishment for his involvement in a theft operation in the Assin Adubiase township.

Asirifi, along with his accomplice Nana Yaw, who is currently on the run, targeted two homes, stealing valuable items including laptops and mobile phones worth thousands of Ghana cedis.

The duo targeted the homes of Samuel Osei Korankyi, an electrical engineer, and Gordon Amaglo, where they stole an AZUS, laptop estimated at GH¢5,000 and a Motorola mobile phone worth GH¢4,500.
