He said that two people, Ifeanyi Odu, 29, and Abuchi Kenneth, 27, had been arrested by police for breaking into and taking Samsung Galaxy and Infinix smartphones from a car that was parked on Rangers Avenue in Enugu.
“A preliminary investigation reveals that the suspects, who respectively gave their addresses as Zuba, Abuja, and Nekede Owerri, Imo State, surreptitiously broke into the parked car and made away with the phones.
“However, upon receiving information on the criminal act, police operatives promptly went after, intercepted and arrested the suspects at Otigba Roundabout, Enugu.
“The police operatives recovered the phones and the suspects’ operational vehicle, a Toyota Corolla car with registration number KUJ 614 CF.
“The suspects will be arraigned in court soonest,” he added.
