The Police Command in Anambra says it has arrested three suspected members of a car snatching syndicate and two other robbery suspects in the state.
The state Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr Haruna Mohammed made this known in a statement made available to newsmen in Awka.
Mohammed said that the three suspected car snatchers were gang members with four other suspects earlier paraded by the command on April 3.
He said ”They specialise in snatching vehicles at gunpoint and selling them after dismantling the vehicles to avoid detection by owners.
“Discreet investigation by police detectives attached to Abagana Division led to the arrest of the suspected members of the syndicate including the gang leader.”
The PPRO gave the names of the three suspects as Ikechukwu Nwabueze, 38; Uzoma Okani, 26; and Uzoma Ebele, 29, NAN reports.
He said the command recovered exhibits including a gold-coloured Toyota Corolla car with registration number ENU158EQ, allegedly snatched from one Mr Ifeanyi Onuorah along Eke Nweje Ogidi on March 19.
”The command had so far, recovered three exhibits and arrested a total number of seven suspected members of the syndicate gang,” he added.
