The Lagos State Police Command, in collaboration with a local vigilante group, have arrested two suspected armed robbers and recovered a locally made cut-to-size Dane gun and three live cartridges during a crime prevention patrol in the Odogunyan area of the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Abimbola Adebisi, disclosed this in a statement released on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the suspects attempted to escape after spotting the security team but were swiftly apprehended.
“During the patrol operation, the operatives intercepted the two suspects, who were carrying a handbag and attempted to flee upon sighting the security team. They were swiftly apprehended, and a search conducted on the handbag in their possession led to the recovery of one locally made cut-to-size Dane gun and three live cartridges,” the statement read.
