The Central East Regional Police Command has secured a conviction against 25-year-old Kolie Samuel for a daylight robbery incident at Millennium City in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.

Acting swiftly on intelligence and with assistance from the victim, police tracked Samuel to his hideout at Ngleshie Amanfro, a suburb of Accra, and arrested him on the same day of the incident.
A search on the suspect led to the retrieval of the stolen iPhone and several other suspected stolen items, including:

Following a thorough investigation, Samuel was arraigned before the Ofaakor Circuit Court on July 15, 2025, where he pleaded guilty to robbery and causing harm. The court sentenced him to 14 years for robbery and 5 years for causing harm, to run concurrently.
