       Gentlemen of the Press, it's my pleasure to welcome you once again to this press briefing in order to keep you abreast with cases of interest to members of the Public which the Command has recorded following review of its crime prevention strategies in the State as follows,
2. ARREST OF CAR SNATCHING SYNDICATE AND RECOVERY OF FIREARMS/OTHER INCRIMINATING ITEMS.
i. It would be recalled that on the 08/01/2020 at about 2pm, Gunmen suspected to be armed robbers numbering about six (6) with AK 47 rifles and other dangerous weapons waylaid and snatched at gunpoint, a Toyota Venza with customized Registration Number KOCO valued six million Naira (N6, 000, 000) from one Nwadike Collette Kosisochukwu 'f' at Ndogo village Nise. Following the distress call, Police operatives attached to the Command Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) swung into action and trailed the suspects to their hideouts along Eze-Iweka by high tension Awada. However, on sighting the Police, the hoodlums resisted arrest and engaged the Police into a fierce gun battle after which two (2) suspects were fatally wounded. Suspects were rushed to the hospital for treatment but one of them whose identity is yet unknown was confirmed dead on arrival while the second suspect identified as Michael Ogbonna 'm' aged 45 years of Achina town in Aguata LGA of Anambra State who also sustained gunshot injuries on his leg is receiving treatment. Exhibits recovered from the suspects includes, One Berretta Pistol with four (4) live ammunition, and one Anti-Car tracking device. Consequently, further investigation through actionable intelligence also led to the recovery of the Toyota Venza snatched from the victim.
ii. Meanwhile, in another development the Command Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) equally arrested with gunshot injuries, one Obinna Nwabunike 'm' of Abigi village, Umuoji. Exhibits recovered from the suspect includes; One Taurius Beretta Pistol with breech number TM 856888 loaded with ten (10) rounds of G2C .9mm live ammunition.
iii. Furthermore on the 12/01/2020, the Command SARS Operatives also arrested in Asaba Delta State, one Paul Chukwuezugo 'm' aged 40 years. Exhibits recovered from the suspect includes One Mercedes 350 without registration number and one Lexus Jeep which was allegedly snatched from the owner after he was killed in the process of snatching the vehicle.
3. It would interest you to note that all the suspects are members of the same syndicate. One major factor responsible for the overall successes recorded by the Command was the support of the good people of “Ndi Anambra” who have been extremely law abiding and very cooperative with the personnel of the security agencies. I urged the people of the State to sustain this level of cooperation with the Police at all times. We are indeed in an era where Community Policing remains the vogue and the people we are serving continue to demand for excellent service.
4. Finally, I also encouraged the good people of Anambra State to be security conscious at all times; and report any strange observation or suspicious movements to the security agencies for prompt response, please.
Thank you and God bless.
