A suspected robber has been arrested by the Police in
Asamankese in the Eastern region after he was caught
sleeping in the bedroom of an SDA Pastor.
The 27-year-old suspect was found half naked and deeply
asleep on the bed of Pastor Asare Nyarko, having broken
into the room through the ceiling to steal properties of the
Pastor.
Narrating the incident to newsmen, Mr. Nyarko explained
that the incident occurred Sunday morning after he and his
family had left for church.
According to him, upon their return home, they realized the
outside lights in the house had been put off. They also
noticed someone had forcefully entered the house and
quickly rushed to the police station to lodge a report.
The police, however, failed to escort the couple home but
advised them to take pictures of the burglar for evidence.
Pastor Asare mentioned that upon a careful entry to their
room with some elders of the church, they found the
suspect deeply asleep in their bedroom.
“When we got closer we realized that the bulb that was in
the corridor had been removed and the meter had also been
closed, that told us that someone had entered the house.
“So we entered the house with caution, looked at the
rooms – the first two were intact – so my wife was going
to our bedroom and she saw somebody in our room. So all
the Elders with myself opened the door and this guy was
fast asleep on my bed and not even the noise the seven of
us made woke him up.
“We had to shake him before he woke up so [we arrested
him] and sent him to the police station.”
The suspect had apparently returned to the house after a
successful first operation but unfortunately slept off during
his second attempt.
The suspect, during interrogation, told the Police that after
the first entry when he took away some properties, he
went to smoke marijuana to gain energy to climb through
the ceiling but was dazed and fell asleep in the process.
