The Lagos State Police Command has arrested three suspected members of an armed robbery and carjacking syndicate operating in the Alakuko area of the state.
The suspects, identified as Faruk Rasheed, 20; Olamilekan Ademola, 28; and Abidemi Oluwawemo, 21, were arrested by operatives of the command following what the police described as “credible intelligence.”
The command said the suspects allegedly specialised in car snatching and robbing residents of their valuables.
The police spokesperson, SP Abimbola Adebesi, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday, adding that the arrests were part of the command’s sustained efforts to tackle armed robbery, carjacking and other violent crimes across Lagos.
