Armed robbers take off, drop ammunition in Enugu after sighting police

The statement further said that detectives from the Awkunanaw Police Division on May 30, at 7:30 p.m., also arrested three suspects allegedly connected to the theft of iron rails.

“Their arrests led to the recovery of yet-to-be-quantified pieces of iron rails vandalised at the pedestrian crossing bridge at Holy Ghost/Ogbete Market, Enugu,” Ndukwe said.

He said that a discreet investigation was ongoing to arrest other members of the gang, adding that the suspects would be prosecuted once investigations were concluded.

Ndukwe quoted the Commissioner of Police, Kanayo Uzuegbu, as appreciating residents of the state whose information on the activities of criminals made the arrests possible.
