Thieves at dawn on Friday broke into the Lower Hill bungalow of Professor Kwesi Yankah of the University of Ghana, Legon and stole a 21-inch TV, a video deck, a wireless set and a cordless phone.

A suspect is assisting the Legon Police in their investigations. This is the second time in two weeks that thieves have burgled senior members of the university, the first victim being the former Head of the School of Communication, Professor Kwame Karikari who lost an unspecified sum of money and jewellery.
