The defendants, Sunday Elijah, 23, Babatunde Jayesimi, 26 and Micheal Ogini, 30, are security men who live at Opebi, Ikeja.
The trio are facing charges bordering on conspiracy and stealing.
The prosecutor, ASP Raji Akeem, told the court that the offences were committed in November 2022, at 3, Osilaja St., Opebi, Ikeja.
Mr Akeem said that the security men vandalised two Range Rover vehicles parked in their workshop and stole some parts valued N710,000.

Mrs Osunsanmi adjourned the case until February 2 for mention.
