Tema, July 30, GNA - The Tema Circuit Court 'A,' has imposed a fine of two million cedis on a man who stole a wrist- watch and 500,000 cedis from a Fulani herdsman.

Police Chief Inspector Mary Assunta told the Court that on April 7, this year, the Fulani herdsman, Zibrim alighted from a vehicle at the Ashaiman main lorry station to visit a friend. She said the accused and two accomplices attacked Zibrim and collected his wrist- watch and the cash.

The complainant held the accused firmly, raised the alarm and was assisted by sympathisers to arrest Simon.
