Two loading boys, who conspired and stole five bags of rice at the Bantama market in Kumasi, have been sentenced to a total of 36 months by the Nkawie Circuit Court.
Atiah Togbe, 30, and Emmanuel Yeboah, 35, pleaded guilty and were convicted on their own plea by the Court.
Detective Chief Inspector Comfort Amankwaa told the Court presided over by Mr. Michael Johnson Abbey that the convicts were hired by the complainant to offload bags of rice from a vehicle into her shop.
