Operatives of the Police Command in Ebonyi have arrested a man suspected of having stolen a black Prado SUV in Abakaliki, the state capital.
The command’s spokesman, DSP Joshua Ukandu, revealed this in a statement on Friday in Abakaliki.
Ukandu said that the vehicle belonged to one of the customers of a car wash in the Abakaliki shopping mall where the suspect was employed.
“The suspect was traced to Mgbuka Obosi in Anambra state, where he intended to sell the vehicle, and it was recovered,” he said.
In a related development, the spokesman said that operatives of the command arrested four suspects for allegedly conspiring and robbing a Mercedes 300 car from one Kenneth Aluma at Ndufu Alike Ikwo at gunpoint.
According to him, the suspects also robbed a man operating a POS machine, adding that they made away with N601,000 cash and a Camon 19 Tecno phone.
The PPRO said that the suspects were arrested through painstaking intelligence gathering at Precious Guest House, Onicha in Onicha Local Government Area, where the vehicle and two locally-made guns were recovered from them.
The suspects will be charged in court once the investigation into the matter is concluded, according to the police spokesman.
He said that the Commissioner of Police in the state, Mrs Anthonia Uche-Anya, had assured residents of the state that the command would leave no stone unturned to ensure maximum security for them.
