A Tarkwa circuit court has sentenced Jaspper Amegboe, a 43-year-old employee of Samora Guest House at Tamso, to two years in jail in hard labour for stealing 908 Ghana cedis.
He pleaded guilty.
Police Detective Chief Inspector Oscar Amponsah told the court that on February 16 Ms Mavis Nkrumah, the Manager of Samora Guest House, employed the convict in the Guest House.
Inspector Amponsah said Amegboe was asked to handle the finances of the Guest House between April 21 and April 23 but he bolted with the cash.
He was arrested at Tarkwa on May 12 and handed over to the police.
