A young man was discovered trapped in a taxi with registration number GR-1161-19, attempting to steal at Eguafo in the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abirem Municipality of the Central Region.
The yet-to-be-identified suspect was found in the taxi trunk and could not exit even after the compartment was opened.
There were speculations among locals that the incident might be connected to supernatural forces, attributing it to juju or mystical charms, which added an element of amusement to the community’s response.
Upon inspecting the trapped individual, authorities discovered a set of tools, including a knife, a screwdriver, and a pair of scissors, in his possession.
The backstory revealed that the taxi driver, Mahama, had previously reported missing items such as his car tape, mobile phones, and money.
In response to these thefts, Mahama issued a warning at the local information centre, threatening that the perpetrator would face consequences if they did not come forward within two weeks.
The ultimatum concluded on December 1, and on January 2, the young man was apprehended during an unsuccessful attempt to carry out a theft.
The incident has since been reported to the police for further investigation.
