The Police in Ogidi Idemili North Local Government Area have busted a four-man burglary gang that targets commercial shops across the State.
Acting on a tip-off received on thirtieth August, 2023 the Police stormed the hideout of the gang and cordoned it off to prevent escape of any of the gang members.
Four suspects, all of them from Ebonyi State were arrested while the following items were recovered from them, two ‘Ladies Motorcycles’, two big Generators, one wheelbarrow, one Deep Freezer, three Bags of Rice and Two Large Iron Cutters.
On interrogation the suspects confessed to have broken into a store at Nanka in Orumba North Local Government Area to steal the recovered items.
The Commissioner of Police, Mr Aderemi Adeoye who commended the newly posted Divisional Police Officer in Ogidi, Mr Uche Onyinaya, for arresting and recovering a Beretta Pistol from a cultist, urged the personnel not to relent in their pursuit of criminal elements.
He directed that investigation be extended to Nanka to locate the owner of the store and Motor Licensing Office for records of owners of the motorcycles with a view to returning the recovered items to the rightful owners while the suspects will be arraigned in court as soon as investigation is concluded.
