A 26-year-old man identified as Ishmael has been sentenced to a total of 21 years in prison with hard labour for robbing with a toy gun.
He narrated all that transpired, saying that he was in a Trotro car when some people were discussing a robbery that had taken place with the criminals using a toy pistol.
He got drawn into the discussion and decided to give it a shot to see whether it was even possible. After buying a toy gun, he so made the decision to rob a store one day. Unfortunately for him, the store's owner was his classmate.
He spent some time talking with her before leaving the shop and going upstairs, where he met another woman and robbed her of Ghc15 using the toy gun.
He wasn't lucky because the second woman also knew him, despite the fact that he knew nothing about her.
Fast forward: he left the town for some time and only returned after a few weeks when he was arrested and detained by the police because his classmate, who was the owner of the first store, had reported what happened to the police.
When he appeared in court, the judge hearing the case found him guilty on three counts and gave him a 21-year prison term.
He was processed before the courts, and the judge sitting on the case found him guilty of three charges and sentenced him to 21 years behind bars.
