Suspected stolen car recovered from fleeing miscreants: Police
The police command in Lagos says it has recovered a Toyota Camry from fleeing suspected robbers at Ijora-Badia.
The spokesperson for the police, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this on his verified Twitter handle on Saturday.
He said the police, who were on patrol on Friday, flagged down the car, but the driver refused to stop.
“Yesterday, at about 2:30 a.m., a black 2002 Toyota Camry V6 saloon car, with reg no JJJ 367 FJ, with about three occupants, was flagged down by officers of Ijora-Badia Division on routine patrol. The driver sped off and turned into an adjoining street,” he said.
Mr Hundeyin added that based on suspicion, the officers gave them a chase, but the occupants eventually abandoned the car and fled.
He also mentioned that the police saw the vehicle abandoned and that all the occupants had escaped.
The police spokesman noted that the vehicle had been taken to “the station.”
Mr Hundeyin urged the owner of the suspected stolen vehicle to come forward with proof of ownership to claim it.
