Thief arrested for stealing sheep

Patrick Kofi, a 38-year old notorious criminal who was convicted at Begro for stealing goats about three months ago, has been arrested by the Nsawam Police for stealing three sheep and a goat, belonging to Mr. Emmanuel Kuwornu Managing Director of Guest Farm (GIFSONS LTD) at Ntoaso near Nsawam – Adoagyiri.

Briefing the Ghana News Agency at the Nsawam Police Station, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Stephen Addom, Nsawam District Crime Officer, said Kofi was arrested at Okantah on the Suhum road, awaiting a vehicle to convey the animals to Accra for sale.

According to ASP Addom, Mr. Kuwornu, owner of the animals, said because he wanted to steal the animals, Kofi deliberately requested for employment at the company, and barely three days after his appointment, broke into the pen of the animals and stole the four animals in the early hours of Thursday.
