The Enugu State Police Command has recovered two vehicles stolen in separate incidents in Imo State, including a Lexus RX 300 SUV snatched during an armed robbery in 2018, and arrested three suspects linked to one of the cases.
The command said the recoveries were made in separate operations carried out by its operatives in Enugu State.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the state Police Public Relations Officer, SP Daniel Ndukwe, said the first operation was carried out on June 25 after a report that a commercial minibus with registration number AKL 969 AH had been snatched from its driver a day earlier in Okigwe, Imo State.
According to him, operatives of the Aninri Police Division, acting on credible intelligence, traced the vehicle to Onunweke, Ndeaboh, in Aninri Local Government Area, where the suspects abandoned it and fled on sighting the police.
