Asiedu, an ex-convict, has been charged with conspiracy to commit crime, stealing and causing unlawful damage.
He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
His alleged accomplice, Kafui Agroh, is currently at large.
The prosecution said Asiedu and Agroh allegedly broke into a vehicle belonging to a Chinese national at Tema Community Six on November 5, 2025, and stole transactional cards, a Chinese passport, GH¢80,000, US$20,000 and 16,000 Euros.
The Ghana News Agency gathered that Asiedu had also been arraigned before another Circuit Court, Court Seven, for allegedly breaking into the vehicle of a Clerk of Parliament and stealing money and other valuables.
The Police have also arraigned Daniel Cobblah, a 38-year-old lotto agent, on a charge of dishonestly receiving.
Cobblah is alleged to have received an iPhone 16 Pro Max, valued at GH¢18,000, belonging to the complainant, Wu Xiao Ju.
He pleaded not guilty and was admitted to bail in the sum of GH¢50,000 with sureties.
Asiedu and Cobblah are expected to reappear in court in two weeks.
Facts presented to Circuit Court Three indicated that Wu, resides at Tema Community Six, while Asiedu lives at Ablekuma Borkorborkor.
Cobblah, also known as Asaawa, resides at Dansoman Agege.
On November 18, 2025, the Police Intelligence Directorate Headquarters in Accra intercepted CCTV footage that showed Asiedu smashing the driver’s side door glass of a black Toyota Highlander, with registration number GN 5666-23, and stealing items from the vehicle.
The Police traced Wu, who confirmed the incident.
Investigations revealed that Asiedu and Agroh broke into the complainant’s vehicle parked at the MTN Office at Tema Community Six and stole an iPhone 16 Pro Max, gold in colour, a non-citizen Ghana Card, cash of GH¢80,000, US$20,000 and 16,000 Euros, and other items.
On November 19, 2025, intelligence led to the arrest of Agroh at his residence, where the stolen iPhone was retrieved.
In his caution statement, Agroh mentioned Asiedu as the person who sold the phone to him for GH¢2,300, although he knew its market value was GH¢18,000.
Further investigations led to the arrest of Asiedu, who admitted selling the phone to Agroh.
The Police said the two conspired to break into the complainant’s vehicle and steal the items.
Investigations also disclosed that Asiedu, upon learning that he was being sought by the Police, gave GH¢30,000 to one Allotey to hand over to the Police as part of the stolen money.
The Police said efforts were underway to arrest Agroh to face the full rigours of the law.
