Barber granted bail over alleged theft of GH¢6,000 in Apatrapa

A 21-year-old barber, Gerrard Dwomo, accused of stealing GH¢6,000 from Juliana Owusu Gyamfi at Apatrapa in the Kwadaso Municipality, has been granted bail of GH¢6,000 with one justified surety.

Dwomo, who pleaded not guilty, is scheduled to reappear before the Asante Akropong Circuit Court on January 29, 2025.

Before executing the bail, the police will verify his address at AP13-Apatrapa to confirm its validity.

Police Chief Inspector Ruth Gborson disclosed that the complainant discovered the theft on January 11 after noticing her money missing from her handbag.

Surveillance footage from her doorbell camera reportedly showed Dwomo taking the money.

During investigations, items seen on Dwomo in the footage were found in his room. Despite denying the act, he was charged and arraigned.
