The Asokwa Police in Kumasi have initiated investigations into the alleged stealing of GHc75,000.00 Miss Mercy Agyei, a contract worker of the Adum branch of ABSA Bank Ghana in Kumasi.
The money belongs to her former employer, Ikson Properties Agency Limited.
The investigations follow the arrest of Mercy Agyei, 28, the night of last Saturday June 29, 2024 and detained overnight.
Her arrest at a hideout at Ayigya, a suburb of Kumasi over the weekend, followed a complaint lodged with the Asokwa Police station.
The complainant company reported that on November 2, 2023, the former marketing student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), who was in charge of sales and marketing, was requested to follow up a payment in Kumasi for the company.
The suspect reportedly collected the GHc75,000.00 cash and endorsed an official receipt for the payment and went into hiding.
According to the complainant, Mercy Agyei, did not only refuse to answer calls from the company but also moved out of her known place of abode at South Suntreso in Kumasi.
The Asokwa police have confirmed the lodging of a formal complaint to that effect which led to her arrest.
The suspect has confirmed the signature on the receipt to the police and has since Sunday, June 30, 2024 been granted police enquiry bail at the instance of the Asokwa Police Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendent Acheampong, while investigations continue.END
