A 16-year-old boy was on Monday convicted by the Tema Circuit Court 'A' for stealing 21 phones valued at 40 million cedis.
He was convicted on his own plea of being guilty on two counts of conspiracy and stealing and the court presided over by Mr Charles Asiedu referred him to a juvenile court for sentencing.
Haruna Issifu and Yakubu Mohammed both unemployed, charged together with him were remanded to re-appear on September 9.
Issifu and Mohammed pleaded not guilty to the same charges.
