Police smash ‘car snatchers’, others

The Abia State Police Command has smashed car and child trafficking syndicates.

It pledged to reduce crimes to the lowest level.

Police Commissioner Leye Oyebade, who spoke on the command’s feat, said it was also after the officers and men who were extorting money from motorists.

He said those caught were undergoing orderly room trial.

Addressing reporters in Umuahia, the state capital, while parading some suspects, Oyebade said his men on patrol at Ogbor Hill in Aba, in collaboration with a vigilance group, arrested Promise Ajiero, from Imo State.

The police chief said the suspect, with other suspected criminals on the run, allegedly robbed Mrs Ability Sunday of her belongings.

He said items recovered from the suspect included one revolver pistol, one lady’s handbag and N120,000 cash.

Oyebade said his men at Ikwuano Division,, who were acting on information at Amaba Ime in Ikwuano, arrested three suspected robbers.

He said the suspects, on January 21, allegedly robbed Eze Chukwuma of his handset and other belongings at gunpoint.

The police chief said one locally-made pistol and a handset were recovered from them.
