Sales executive granted bail for allegedly stealing GH¢27,542.00
A 33-year-old sales executive of Forewin Ghana Limited, has
been granted a GH¢20,000.00 bail for allegedly stealing GH¢27,542.00 belonging
to the institution.
Two people are to stand as sureties for Setor Worchie,
who pleaded not guilty to dishonestly appropriating the amount.
He will make his next appearance on November 19.
Police Chief Inspector William Kojo Boateng told
the court presided by Mrs Ruby Nash Aryeetey that, the complainant in the case
is the security officer of Forewin Ghana Limited, at the North Industrial Area,
in Accra, where Worchie is also a sales executive.
He said from January to April this year, the
accused was given a number of Beko electrical products valued at GH¢27,542.00,
to be supplied to the company’s customers at Opera Square.
Chief Inspector Boateng said after distributing
the items, he was given monies to be paid to his employer, but he failed to do
so.
Prosecution said one Mr Reuben Sarpong, also a
sales and marketing officer of the company, and a witness in the case, made a
follow-up to the customers to ascertain the delay in paying those monies.
He discovered that the customers had long paid
the money and, therefore, armed with this information, a report was made to the
Kaneshie Police, which led to Worchie’s arrest.
He said in his caution statement, he admitted
the offence and refunded GH¢5,400.00. – GNA
