According to the police report, Anderson, along with his accomplice Gideon Baah—who is still at large—organized the theft of four vehicles through a deceptive rental scheme.
One notable incident involved a Hyundai Elantra with the registration GT 114-25, which was stolen on March 25, 2025.

The suspects allegedly rented the vehicle from a local rental shop, disabled its tracking system, and absconded with it, leaving authorities struggling to trace the car.
Preliminary investigations indicate that Anderson received GH¢4,000 for each stolen vehicle, a relatively small amount that highlights the boldness of the operation.
