Prosecuting Police Chief Inspector Edward Paddy told the court presided over by Mr Samuel Obeng Diawuo that the complainant Mr Felix
Ofosu Kontoh, Engineer and a Spare Parts and Sales Manager of Mantrac Ghana Limited at Tarkwa, has been experiencing theft of spare parts from the company’s warehouse, which compelled him to take stock of the items in the warehouse.
