Albert Bruce pleaded guilty to defrauding by false pretences and the Court deferred sentence till Tuesday, March 16, 2021.
With him in the dock is Mark Doughan, a 32 year old driver who resides at Edukrom, who is also charged with fraud, but pleaded not guilty and had been remanded in prison custody by the Court.
A third accomplice, identified only as Sadik is on the run.
Sergeant Yakubu Iddrisu narrating the fact of the case said in February 2019, Bruce who claimed to be a senior police officer, met Doughan at Elmina and during a long chat, told his accomplice he could help people secure jobs at different public sectors at a fee.

Convinced, Doughan, contacted one Naana Ibrahim, a witness in the case to help him secure jobs for people in the vicinity with fees ranging between GHC500.00 and GHC 7,000.00, which she agreed.
Naana Ibrahim later handed over an amount of GHC147,000.00 she had collected from 51 victims awaiting recruitment, to Doughan.
According to Sergeant Iddrisu, Doughan in turn, transferred GHC79,490.00 out of the amount to Bruce and kept the balance of GHC57,510.00 to himself.
Sometime in July 2020, Doughan lodged a complaint against Bruce when the jobs were not forth coming and Bruce was arrested and confessed transferring some monies to Sadik.
He also admitted that he had earlier sent some fake letters to the victims to report at various public offices under the pretext of recruitment.
Sergeant Iddrisu said Bruce and Doughan have so far refunded an amount of GHC31,000.00 to the police, which had been shared among some victims
