Mr Kiyawa said that five suspects were arrested following a report of a stolen tricycle at Panshekara Quarters, Kano.
He added that the stolen tricycle, valued at ₦3.5 million, was sold to the sixth suspect, Umar Dahiru.
The suspects confessed to stealing another tricycle, sold to Mr Dahiru for ₦2.7 million.
Two tricycles and a horse bought with the proceeds of the crime were recovered.
