Ghana: thief found electrocuted in store

 A suspected thief has been electrocuted while attempting to steal from a mechanic shop at Fiapre in the Sunyani West Municipality, Ghana.

“The thief went to the area in the night with three other colleagues to engage in the crime,” according to reports.

“The deceased entered the shop and stole some electrical wires  but in trying to exit, he stepped on a live wire and was instantly electrocuted.“

“His loud shout scared his colleagues, causing them to run away and leave him to his fate.” 

“Some neighbours who heard the shout went to the place and found only one hand of the deceased showing out of the shop and a quantity of wires held in the other hand,” reports said.

The shop owner came to open the shop and the thief was found dead on the floor surrounded by items. 

The Police took the body to the morgue after taking some photographs at the scene for investigations.
