Stolen car tracked to Nigeria from Canada

The vehicle, A 2017 Toyota Highlander stolen from Ontario street Canada, belonging to one Ahmad Abdullah was said to have disappeared last September from his street, according to CTV News has been tracked to Nigeria.

 

It was gathered that the owner had given up on finding the car after footage video of the thieves unlocking his 2017 Toyota Highlander provided no clue, but more than six months later, CTV News Investigates said it was able to find his vehicle—sitting in a lot in a suburb of Lagos, Nigeria.

After seeing the video of his own car for sale overseas, he realised how truly organised the criminals who stole his car might actually be, Abdallah’s experience is a small window into a huge surge in car thefts striking cities across Canada, with an apparent epicentre in the Greater Toronto Area.

“He got a call from the CTV and said; you sent me a picture of my car. Oh it blew my mind,” he said in an interview. “This is clearly a big operation. 

There should be more people looking into it, he said... because the vehicle is worth millions of dollars.
