The Nigeria Police Force, Ebonyi State Command, under the leadership of the Commissioner of Police, CP Hope Urunwa Okafor, psc, mnips, has recorded another significant breakthrough in its fight against crime with the dismantling of a motorcycle snatching syndicate operating within and outside the State.

Acting on the report and credible intelligence gathered during the investigation, operatives arrested one Anaeto Emmanuel.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the suspect specialises in purchasing stolen motorcycles from members of the syndicate and reselling them to unsuspecting members of the public.

Following a painstaking and intelligence-driven investigation, operatives successfully traced and recovered eleven motorcycles stolen at different times and from various locations across Ebonyi and Cross River States.

The Command is using this medium to call on members of the public whose motorcycles were stolen to visit the Central Police Station, Abakaliki, with relevant documents for possible identification and recovery of their motorcycles.
