Police caught a man who allegedly stole rental cars across Ghana. Officers arrested 37-year-old Nana Anderson, also known by several aliases, at his hiding place in Kumasi on April 5. His partner, Gideon Baah, remains missing.
According to investigators, Anderson rented a Hyundai Elantra on March 25 from a car rental business. He used fake identity cards showing different names but his photo to trick the business into giving him the vehicle in Tema. He never returned it after disabling its tracking system.
Police discovered that Anderson belonged to a group that stole multiple cars between January and March. These included vehicles taken from Hatso, Amasaman, and Spintex, all in Greater Accra. When questioned by officers, Anderson admitted receiving GH¢4,000 for each stolen car.
He led police to a location near Kasoa where they hoped to find Baah, but he wasn't there. Authorities continue searching for Baah, who people commonly call Nana. Anderson has appeared in court as investigations continue into their car theft operation.
