The Tarkwa District Court One has sentenced Gifty Awuah, an unemployed woman, to two months of imprisonment with hard labour for stealing GH¢1,200 in cash and a mobile phone valued at GH¢1,100.
Awuah, who pleaded guilty, was convicted on her own plea by the court presided over by Mr. Charles Owusu Nsiah.
Prosecuting Police Sergeant Enoch Assan-Donkoh informed the court that the complainant, Elizabeth Badu, also unemployed, resides at Wassa Agona, while Awuah resides at Dompim Pepesa, both in the Tarkwa Nsuaem Municipality.

On November 9, 2024, at approximately 2:00 p.m., Awuah visited the complainant’s home under the pretext of meeting her husband, Nana Nkansah. Upon being informed that he was unavailable, Awuah pretended to leave but returned moments later, entered the complainant’s room, and stole the cash and mobile phone before fleeing.
On November 11, 2024, Awuah was apprehended and taken to the police station, where she confessed to the theft in her caution statement during investigations.
The court handed down the sentence as a deterrent, underscoring the importance of accountability and respect for others’ property.
