Akon’s Range Rover Stolen While In The Gas Station by tonyluyi1985: 6:16am On May 26, 2021
Senagelese-American artiste Akon had his car stolen in a gas station in the Buckhead neighbourhood of Atlanta.
The car was reportedly stolen while he was buying gas into it.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Akon stopped at a Quiktrip gas station to fill his white Range Rover up with gas. He left the car running with the keys inside the vehicle, so he could fill up the gas tank. Before he was done, he noticed someone diriving his car, which held valuables, including a $25,000 diamond necklace, a Louis Vuitton bag and his iPhone.

Akon called the cops, who arrived at the gas station at 11:59 p.m. He told authorities that a dark-colored sedan followed his SUV when it made a right onto Sidney Marcus Boulevard. Surveillance footage of the theft confirmed his account.

A police report stated that the video showed the sedan as it pulled into the station right next to Akon’s SUV.

“Shortly after, you can see the suspect get out of the passenger seat of what looks to be a black, four-door BMW sedan, get into the driver’s seat of the victim’s vehicle and drive off with the black BMW following right behind,” the report read.

Since his phone was left in the vehicle when it was pilfered, Akon reportedly used the FindMyPhone app to track his phone and find his car. He was first led to Lawton Street in southwest Atlanta, but when police went to that location, they were unable to find it. The second time around, after the app determined the vehicle was in Forest Park, it was recovered by the Forest Park GA Police Department and returned to Akon on Tuesday morning (May 25).

Ok thank God the car was recovered quickly, I DNT wanna tell you guys how many centuries it would have taken the NPF to recover that car, even after paying huge sum

But what I a more concerned about is that, you could actually fill up your car in the US with gas while engine is still running, if na for our bodies naija, these fuel pump attendants would have wrestled you to out off your engine..."abi you wan to blow this place up' angry grin

That person that stole Anthony Joshua's Range Rover was another thief on his own. Must have dismantled all the customized part of the SUV.

Car got stolen, the Police arrived by 11 at night and by morning the next day, Akon got his car back and when we say Nigeria is a zoo, they call us unpatriotic.

Yes!!!! The US Capitol was invaded in January by violent protesters but today, all the perpetrators of that attack have all been arrested and jailed, not a single soul was left free.

How many of the hoodlums that attacked the peaceful end sars protesters have been arrested?

Who ordered the attacks of the end sars protesters in lekki toll gate?

How many of the stolen cars of innocent NIGERIANS have been found?

Even the ones the police manages to find, the owner of the cars had to cough out huge money.

Even to find a stolen phone, Nigeria police cannot.

Someone asking why Akon was driving without a security guard, well this is how you know a developed country.
Most of their celebs hire a security not necessarily because of attacks but to prevent them from overzealous fans and paparazzi.
By the time we realize that NIGERIA is one of the worst country in the history of creation, the better for us.
Go to south africa and watch their celebs drive without a security guard.
