A 27-year-old driver’s mate, Emmanuel Mensah, alias “Toxic,” has been sentenced to 36 months’ imprisonment by the Kwadaso Circuit Court for theft.

Mensah pleaded guilty and was convicted on his own plea.

Police Chief Inspector David Opoku Kwabi told the court, presided over by Mr. Jephthah Appau, that the complainant, Vashti Adwoa Apperkon, an Accra-based event planner, discovered on January 18, 2026, that her bedroom window had been damaged and several items stolen.

The stolen items included two iPhones, a Samsung Galaxy phone, an iWatch, and other belongings valued at GH¢34,000, as well as a bag containing $20, 20 Canadian dollars, £20, and GH¢650.

Following investigations, Mensah was arrested at Asafo. He admitted to breaking into the room, stealing the items, and selling them to an accomplice, who is currently at large. He said he converted the foreign currencies and used the proceeds for personal expenses. After the investigations, he was charged and subsequently sentenced.
