The Bauchi State Police Command has successfully apprehended three members of an armed robbery syndicate involved in motorcycle theft and other crimes.
The arrests were made during a raid in the Sabon Layi area, where a patrol team from the 'C' Divisional Police Headquarters seized significant evidence, including a locally-made revolver, eight rounds of live ammunition, and two motorcycle number plates.
According to Police Public Relations Officer, Ahmed Wakil, the operation led to the arrest of Suleiman Adamu, 40, who was found in possession of the stolen items.
Wakil stated that further investigation revealed the involvement of Adamu Sale, alias Dogo, 30, from Rafin Makaranta, who is suspected of committing several robberies in Zaranda village. During questioning, the suspects admitted to using the firearm in the theft of three motorcycles, which were then sold to Jibrin Mohammed, 30, of Railway Area, Bauchi.
Mohammed confessed to purchasing the stolen motorcycles, revealing that he bought one for N70,000 and resold it for N80,000 to scrap metal dealers. He also acknowledged settling a dispute with the owner of a previously stolen motorcycle.
The Commissioner of Police, Auwal Mohammed, has ordered further investigations to uncover additional members of the syndicate and recover more stolen property.
