Ondo: Police arrest alleged car thief, recover three stolen vehicles
The police, on Friday, arrested a 42-year-old suspected car thief, Ayodele Temitope, and recovered three stolen vehicles.
The police commissioner in Ondo, Wilfred Afolabi, announced this in Akure while addressing the significant achievements of the command over the past few months.
Mr Afolabi said the achievements recorded ranged from recovering stolen vehicles to dismantling armed robbery and burglary syndicates.
He also said that other achievements were the busting of transnational fraud operations; arrests of cultists and kidnappers, and rescue of victims.
The police chief said the arrest of Mr Temitope and others achievements were testaments to the command’s robust security strategies, intelligence-driven operations, and the dedication of gallant officers and men.
Mr Afolabi said Mr Temitope was arrested following a complaint received on March 16 from one Tajudeen Kasali of High School, Akure, whose Dyna vehicle was stolen.
According to him, the complainant woke up at about 3:00 a.m. on the same date and discovered that his Dyna, with registration number MKA 627 XC valued at N5 million, was missing and a Nissan Primera vehicle, with registration number LND 248 BF, from the suspect in Ibadan.
A stolen Toyota Camry, with registration number KTU 235 GA, was also recovered at the suspect’s house in Saki.
