Prosecuting, Police General Sergeant Ebenezer T.  Addo told the Court that at 19:20 hours on Saturday July 15, 2017, a Police officer saw the accused person behind the Brong-Ahafo Regional Police Headquarters building at Area Four carrying a load in a sack in a suspicious manner.

The complainant called the accused to disclose what was in the sack but the latter refused and when forced to comply, it was discovered that it was a 12 volt VDL heavy duty battery valued at GH¢935.00, a property of MMTL, P/Gen. Sgt. Addo said.

He said the accused could not give any tangible reason for possessing the item and was therefore arrested and sent to the Sunyani District Police Station where he was detained and released on Police enquiry bail on Sunday, July 16, 2017

Mr Addo said that the accused was then rearrested, charged with the offence and processed for Court.

Meanwhile the accused who was employed by the Company around 2005 in Kumasi has now been queried and interdicted, a source at the Sunyani Depot confirmed to the Ghana News Agency.
