"Two Young Girls, Aged 9 and 14, Allegedly Steal 40,000 Cedis and Gold from Gold Buying Shop in Twifo Praso"

Two young girls, aged 9 and 14, have been accused of stealing Forty Thousand Cedis (40,000) and gold from the Business Gold Agent shop in Twifo Praso, the district capital of Twifo Atti Morkwa in the Central Region.

The incident reportedly occurred on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, around 11:38 AM, coinciding with the market day in the district. According to reports, the two girls had gone to the gold-buying shop with the intent to purchase mercury, commonly known as “Med.” However, upon arriving at the shop, they found that the attendant was unavailable. Seizing the opportunity, the girls allegedly began searching around the premises and eventually took the cash and gold.

The crime came to light thanks to the shop’s CCTV cameras, which captured footage of the young girls entering the shop and taking the money and gold. The footage has provided critical evidence for investigators, confirming the girls’ involvement in the theft.

The authorities are now looking into the matter, with the stolen money and gold yet to be recovered. The girls’ actions have raised concerns within the community, especially given their young ages. Further investigations are underway to determine the full extent of the crime and any potential involvement of others.
