Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos Police Command have arrested three suspected vandals in the Tom Jones area of the state and recovered a minibus, two carts and bridge railings.
The command’s spokesperson, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Tuesday in Lagos.
He said the suspects were arrested at 2:45 p.m. on Saturday during RRS operatives’ routine patrol of the area.
“The suspects fled and abandoned a Suzuki mini bus popularly called ‘Korope’ with registration number BDG 315 YA upon sighting the police.
“Also left behind by the suspected vandals were two carts, bars of aluminium railings suspected to have been cut from the Third Mainland Bridge, a hammer and a hand saw,” he said.
According to the image-maker, the arrests come on the heels of other recent and similar ones made by the CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi-led RRS operatives.
He said the suspects had been charged to court.
