2,000 master keys recovered from suspected car snatchers

Residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, can now heave a sigh of relief, following the arrest of some suspected car snatchers, from whom over 2,000 master keys were recovered.

 

According to the FCT police, the anti-car theft operatives, acting on a petition, arrested Ocheoga Adai, Nathan Hope, Isa Garba, Afam Ezechi and Chibuzor Adubusin at Gwagwalada, Gwarimpa, Apo and Garki respectively, for conspiracy, aiding, fabrication of keys and car theft.

 

The police also said some vehicles were recovered from the suspects.

 

It was gathered that the suspects used the keys to move vehicles from where they were parked, while they also snatched many others from victims.

 

Also, the police recovered a Toyota Highlander, four key cutting machines, some stolen law books, key monitor and fabricated keys.

 

The suspects have since been arraigned in court and remanded in Keffi Prison.
