Nmetteh is accused of stealing electrical cables, PVC pipes, and breakers. The value of the stolen items is GH¢28,320.
The alleged theft occurred at a construction site located in Teshie. The incident took place earlier this month.
The prosecution informed the court that investigations into the case are ongoing. They stated that the police have gathered some evidence.
Nmetteh was arrested by the Ghana Police Service after the alleged incident. He was subsequently brought before the court.
