The Anambra State Police Command said it has arrested three suspected car thieves and recovered one stolen vehicle from the carjackers.
A statement issued by the command’s spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the operatives of the Special Anti-Cultism Squad in Enugwu Ukwu intercepted the suspects while on patrol on Wednesday.
Ikenga said the operatives intercepted the three occupants of the stolen vehicle, a black-coloured Lexus 330 SUV without a plate number, at Kwata Junction in Awka.
He said, “During interrogation by the operatives, the suspects Ifesinachi Okonwko ‘M’, aged 22 years, Chisom Okafor ‘M’, aged 20 years and Oderah Ebenezer ‘M’, aged 20 years, respectively, confessed to having stolen the car at Isuaniocha Village, Awka North LGA and are members of the same criminal gang terrorising innocent citizens in Awka.
“Given the above, the Command invites anyone looking for the vehicle as highlighted above, especially residents of Isuanioch, to come to the office of the Police Public Relations Officer Awka with valid Proof/Evidence of Ownership for verification and possible collection.”
