A man who broke into a church and made away with a television set, amplifier and compressor has been sentenced to five years imprisonment by the Juaso Circuit Court.
Yaw Addai Boateng was given the punishment after he pleaded guilty to the offence.
Police Detective Inspector Princeton Peasah Darkwah, told the court presided over by Mr. Yusif Assibey that the incident happened on June 21, this year.
The Pastor in-charge of the Bethel Presbyterian Church reported the theft to the police and investigations led to his arrest at Oforikrom in Kumasi.
Boateng told the police that a friend, whose name he only gave as “Taller” had sought his assistance to find a buyer for the stolen items which he did.
The items, he claimed, were sold to one Mallam at Asokwa, adding that he received GH¢50.00 for leading a friend to the buyer.
