Monday, December 1, 2025 - Police operatives in Rivers State have arrested two suspected car snatchers in Port Harcourt, Rivers State and recovered two stolen vehicles from them.
Police Spokesperson in Rivers State, SP Grace Iringe-Koko,
in a statement on Sunday, said the operatives are working to establish the
suspects’ potential links to any other vehicle-related crimes in the state and
the arrest of other syndicate members.
She said the suspects are currently undergoing an in-depth
investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the theft and the
suspects’ individual involvement.
She said: “The Rivers State Police Command has made a
remarkable feat in its sustained onslaught against car theft and snatching in
the state. On November 20, 2025, at about 1800hrs, a team of Operatives from
the Command’s C4I Intelligence Unit arrested two suspects, Abubakar Abdulsalam
‘m’ aged 43yrs and Shagari Shehu ‘m’, aged 35yrs, in connection with the theft
of two vehicles.
“The operatives swiftly acted on credible and reliable
information, leading to the arrest of the suspects, who were found in
possession of the stolen vehicles.
“The recovered vehicles include
a white Toyota Hilux with a fake registration number GWA 453 GR and an
ash-colour Toyota Corolla with a fake registration number LSD 420 BT. Both
vehicles are in police custody for discreet investigation.”
