The Delta State Police Command said it has discovered concealed arms and ammunition after dismantling a suspected Camry car in the State.
The Police spokesman, Bright Edafe said that the police in the process recovered three AK47 Rifles, 3120 and rounds of ammunition.
Edafe explained that on the 3rd of March 2025 at about 12am operatives of the command attached to Dragon 14 while on stop and search duty along Warri/Benin road by Western Delta University Oghara intercepted a blue colour Toyota Camry with Reg No PHC 257 NT driven by one Peter James, 55, an indigene of Uyo Akwa Ibom State.
Edafe said: “The driver was asked to open the trunk of the vehicle, during which it was observed that the trunk of the said Camry popularly known as “big daddy” was unusually small, this aroused the suspicion of the men who were convinced that the vehicle has been modified for malicious purpose.
“The Policemen then proceeded and removed the seat of the vehicle, only to discover three AK-47 rifles, 2,080 rounds of 7. 62 mm AK-47 ammunition, and 1,040 rounds of 51mm ammunition loaded in four boxes. The exhibit has been recovered, the suspect is in custody and the investigation is ongoing.”
