Canada.
The

internet.
The

shows
the

accompanied
by
a
friend,
attempting
to
steal
a
PS5

from
a

However,
their

and
condemnation
of

crime,
highlighting
the
negative
impact
such
actions
have
on
the
reputation
of
the
Ghanaian
community
abroad.
One
user
commented,
“This
is
disgraceful.
We
need
to
uphold
the
integrity
of
our
nation
no
matter
where
we
are.
Such
behaviour
tarnishes
our
image.”
Another
user
added,
“Stealing
is
never
the
answer.
It’s
sad
to
see
young
people
resorting
to
such
actions.”
