Akwasi Asante allegedly snatched the Nissan Almera taxi cab from the driver at gun point in the Greater Accra region.

However, a suspicious mechanic, who was fixing a faulty part of the vehicle, led the police to arrest Akwasi Asante.
Zongo District Police Commander, DSP George Bawah says preliminary investigations revealed the suspect pulled a fake pistol to snatch the car.
After making his way with the vehicle to Kumasi, Akwasi Asante lost the car’s key when he attempted refuel at Tech-Junction.
It was in the attempt to break free the door at a mechanical shop that the fake pistol was found in the car, leading to Akwasi’s arrest.
