Mr Seth Bio-Nyamekye, magistrate at the Twifo Praso district court, on Monday issued a bench warrant for the arrest of two friends, who allegedly stole a fowl and jumped bail after their arrest.

The accused persons, Yaw Asiedu 19 and Owusu Asamoah 33 from Twifo Asamoakrom were arrested and granted bail on January 15 and asked to re-appear on Tuesday, January 26 but failed to turn up.

Prosecuting, Inspector John Konlan said Asiedu, who was a regular customer at a drinking bar belonging to one Mr Yaw Avonyu went to the bar on January 10 this year, and after drinking allegedly stole a fowl from the compound.

Asamoah was also arrested and the two were charged with stealing and abetment respectively.
