An Accra Circuit Court has granted 38-year-old MershackArthur bail of GH¢75,000 with two sureties over the theft of a Man Diesel truckhead valued at GH¢150,000, belonging to DBS Roofing Sheet Company Limited. One of the sureties must be justified, the court ordered.
Arthur, who denies the offence, is expected to reappear in court on December 3, 2025, before Madam Basilia Adjei-Tawiah.
According to Police Chief Inspector Daniel Ofori-Appiah, the complainant, Emmanuel Sarkodie, Transport Officer at DBS Roofing Sheet Company, reported the truck missing from the company’s warehouse near the Tema Motorway on September 8. Arthur, an employee of the same company residing in Martey Ma, Teshie, was arrested following a tip-off from witness Anthony Sackey.
Investigations revealed that Arthur had planned the theft since 2024. On September 6 at around 5:50 a.m., he reportedly used a towing vehicle to move the truck to Martey Tsuru in search of a buyer. Three days later, he attempted to relocate it again but was apprehended at Achimota.
Arthur was transferred from Tesano Police Station to Manet Police Station, where he gave a cautioned statement admitting the offence. The prosecution confirmed that investigations established his involvement in the theft.
