The two who will re-appear in court on May 17, 2021, are being charged
for abetment to commit crime and stealing.
The prosecutor, Detective Inspector Joseph Kwadwo Agyare told the
court that the complainant, Issaka Mohammed, is a miner and resident
of Abokyia, while the accused persons are residents of Papoeso and
Emre Dani cottage all in the Aowin Municipality.
He said on March 20, 2021, the accused persons met at Kwaw’s house
after they had successfully stolen a motorbike at Papoeso and agreed
not to meet in town so that they would not be suspected
as the brain behind the theft.
He said while Owusu was leaving to his house, he instructed Kwaw to
try and steal one motorbike from some miners who usually work along
the Frantrakesim road to which he obliged.
On March 23, 2021, the complainant parked his unregistered Haojin
motorbike at the above-mentioned location and went to
work around 0800 hours.
The prosecution said at about 1400 hours, the first accused person
secretly went to the spot where the complainant had parked his
motorbike and stole it after which he hid the motorbike in
a cocoa farm along the Emre Dani road.

He said at about 1700 hours the same day, the complainant
after the day’s work returned to where he parked his motorbike
but it was not there.
The complainant then wrote the chassis number of his motorbike on
pieces of paper and distributed same to the motor mechanics in
the vicinity to help him track the offenders.
Inspector Agyare said on March 25, this year, at about 1700 hours,
the complainant had a tip-off from a mechanic at Kwawu that Kwaw
had brought the said motorbike to his shop to swap the parts.
Base on the information, the complainant went to Kwawu and with
the assistance of some youth, the first accused person was arrested
and escorted to the Enchi police station with the motorbike, prosecution said.
He said during investigation Kwaw in his caution statement mentioned
Owusu as his accomplice and he was also arrested for questioning.
