Following the recent arrest of Nana Anderson, a 37-year-old suspected leader of a vehicle theft syndicate, the Greater Accra Regional Police Command has disclosed that the accused was selling each stolen vehicle for GH₵4,000.
Anderson, who also goes by aliases such as Anderson Nana Abeka, Essel Kofi Elvis, and Willson Kojo Bismark, was apprehended on April 5, 2025, at his hideout in Atasamanso, Kumasi, Ashanti Region.
Police investigations revealed that on March 25, 2025, Anderson fraudulently rented a Hyundai Elantra, registered as GT 114-25, using forged ECOWAS identity and driver’s license cards with different names but his photograph.
He disabled the vehicle’s tracking system and failed to return it, prompting further scrutiny.
According to the police, Anderson, upon his arrest, admitted to the thefts, revealing that he was part of a syndicate operating between January and March 2025.
The group allegedly stole multiple vehicles, including a Kia Forte, a Honda Civic, a Kia Ultima at Spintex, and another in the Greater Accra region, each sold for GH₵4,000.
Anderson led police to a hideout in Millennium City, where the stolen Hyundai Elantra was recovered.
His accomplice, Gideon Baah, also known as Nana, remains at large. The suspect has been arraigned before the court, and efforts continue to apprehend Baah to assist with the investigation.
The Ghana Police Service affirmed that it is working to dismantle the syndicate and recover additional stolen vehicles.
