Two members of the mass cocoa spraying gang at Adakwa in the Suhum Kraboa Coaltar District were on Wednesday arraigned before the Suhum Magistrate's Court for stealing a quantity of confider insecticide meant for spraying cocoa farms in the area.
The accused persons, Kwame Larbi and Kwame Ayisi, pleaded not guilty and were granted bail in the sum of two million Ghana cedis each with two sureties.
Detective Police Chief Inspector E. C. Okorey, prosecuting, told the court that Larbi and Ayisi were members of the mass cocoa spraying gang at Adakwa.
He said on October 26 this year, the two went to the local Chief Farmer, Opanin Jonas Tetteh, whose house the insecticide were being kept and asked him to give them the store key to enable them wash empty containers.
Mr Okorey said after washing the containers, Larbi and Ayisi managed to steal some of the items.
He said a witness in the case spotted them carrying the items away and confronted them, but the accused persons abandoned them and took to their heels.
