Two yet-to-be-identified robbers operating at the Second Niger Bridge have been apprehended by the operatives of the Anambra State Police Command last week.
The Police team which was on surveillance patrol on the Bridge to prevent vandals from stealing expansion joints were alerted to the activities of the gang near the Obosi end of the bridge which led to the arrest of the suspects.
In a statement by the spokesman of the police command in Anambra, DSP Tochukwu Ikenga on Monday, the Covert Police Team monitored the gang and swooped in on them arresting two of the gangsters while others fled.
“When searched, two daggers and five sim cards removed from previously stolen phones were recovered from the suspects aged between 20 and 22 years.
One of the suspects hailed from Enugu State and the other from Ebonyi State.”
Meanwhile, the Commissioner of Police CP Aderemi Adeoye has directed that owners of the recovered SIM cards be located to assemble evidence for the successful prosecution of the arrested suspects.
