Police operatives attached to Surulere Division have nabbed four members of a syndicate that specialize in vandalizing and selling vehicle parts.
The spokesman for Lagos Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, in a statement said that the suspects were arrested on Wednesday September 7, 2022 after a report was received that three Mercedes Benz SUVs brought in for repairs at a mechanic workshop were vandalized and their brain boxes and oil pumps stolen.
Hundeyin said that the suspects, Sodiq Odugbade ‘m’ aged 20, Aliyu Yusufa ‘m’ aged 20, Ayinla Aliaminu ‘m’ aged 21 and Ayomide Ogunshiyi ‘m’ aged 18, who were mechanic apprentices in the neighborhood, have provided useful information to the police, adding that efforts were on to arrest the receivers of the stolen items.
The suspects were said to have been arraigned.
However, the State’s Commissioner of Police, CP Abiodun Alabi, assured Lagosians of the relentless efforts of officers and men of the Command to bring crime to the barest minimum.
