It was a harvest of arrests as the Delta State Police Command revealed that it has arrested suspected car snatchers, and vandals and recovered AK47 rifles and 52 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition.
The Delta State Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Bright Edafe, who confirmed the great feats recorded, added that the command also made other awesome recoveries.
According to him, the feats were as a follow-up on the investigation of suspected kidnappers neutralised in Abraka where one AK-47 rifle was recovered.
He explained that the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Abraka Division again led operatives to comb the surrounding bushes where some of the suspects escaped into.
Edafe added: “The team, upon a thorough search of the bush, recovered two AK-47 magazines, and 52 rounds of AK-47 ammunition. The investigation also revealed that one of the neutralised suspects poses as an internet fraudster and has been using the proceeds gotten from kidnapping to build a 15-room duplex around Orogun, Ughelli North LGA. The effort to arrest the other members of the gang is still ongoing.”
