SECURITY OPERATIVES KILL NOTORIOUS CAR SNATCHER ALONG BENIN-DELTA EXPRESSWAY, RECOVER VEHICLE AND AMMUNITION

Security operatives in Delta State have killed a notorious car snatcher in Umunede area of the Benin-Asaba expressway.

Intelligence gathered that the criminal snatched a Lexus 350 jeep from its owner at gunpoint in Warri last Saturday. The car was however recovered alongside a locally made pistol loaded with a live cartridge and two expended cartridges, while two members of the car-snatching syndicate escaped with bullet injuries as the police engaged them in a gun battle.

The Delta State Police PRO, Bright Edafe, confirmed the development in a statement on Thursday.

He said; “The suspects on noticing the operatives stopped abruptly and disembarked from the vehicle, shot sporadically and ran into the bush. 

“The operatives returned fire and went after them. During the gun duel, one of the hoodlums was fatally wounded while the remaining two escaped with bullets injuries.

“The injured suspect was immediately rushed to the hospital where he gave up the ghost while receiving treatment.” 

The Police PRO added that a manhunt for the fleeing members of the gang is in progress.
