According to the Delta State Police spokesperson, DSP Bright Edafe in a statement said on Friday that on the 2nd March, 2022 about 1024hrs, intelligence gathered revealed that one Richard Tobi, a male of Obibo Port-Harcourt, Rivers State who specializes in snatching vehicles was around Warri, hence operatives of \u2018A\u2019 Division Warri were detailed to trail and arrest him with a view to seeing that he is brought to book.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Consequently, “the suspect was trailed to Mammy market Effurun in Uvwie LGA where he was arrested and different vehicle plate numbers recovered from him.<\/p>\n

Further investigations led the suspect to his base where one Toyota Hilux with Reg. No. UYY 210 GT suspected to have been stolen at Akwa-Ibom was recovered. He is presently facing prosecution in the court of law<\/p>\n

Similarly, on the 1st March, 2022 about 1100hrs, Police patrol team attached to \u2018B\u2019 Division Warri while on routine patrol along Okere market junction Warri, intercepted a four-man armed robbery gang who were operating in a mini bus with Registration No: Delta DSZ 912 XA.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When they sighted the Police team, according to DSP Bright Edafe, the robbers shot at the Police and zoomed off hence they were chased into Makaiva market while exchanging gun fire with them.<\/p>
