A police source told Southern City News that the operatives acted on a tip-off that some hoodlums were planning to sell a stolen car with Registration Number CU 244 PHC earlier reported to be missing.
It was gathered that the security agents swiftly raced to the scene and caught the suspects in the act.
The source added that the suspects, recently released from the prison on bail, were awaiting trial for a car theft offence committed in 2016.
Confessing to the crime, Eborgu said he was truly on bail for a car theft crime he committed in the past.
He said, “I was arrested because I removed a car from where it was parked. I used a master key in removing the car. I have stolen up to 10 cars since I got involved in this crime. But I was granted bail last year after I was arrested and paraded for the same crime.”The Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Adeleye Oyebade, confirmed the arrest of the suspects, adding that investigation had commenced with a view to recovering more vehicles and arresting other members of the syndicate.
