Sekondi, Jan 27, GNA - A Sekondi District Magistrate's Court on Friday sentenced Shadrack Mensah, a taxi driver at Inchaban near Sekondi, to 15 months imprisonment in hard labour for stealing cement. He pleaded guilty.
Prosecuting, Police Sergeant Adu Kyeremeh said on January 24, the accused broke into the store of Mr John Cobbinah at Inchaban and made away with nine bags of cement.
