A 5 man gang of robbers that have been robbing bank customers in northern states as the customers leave the bank have been arrested by police.
According to the police, their modus operandi was to follow customers, confronting them later and relieving them of their valuables and money
ACP Abba Kyari, the Commander of the Inspector-General of Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT), verified the report of the arrest to the news tabloids in Lagos.
“Following credible intelligence received on some notorious syndicate of criminals terrorising innocent citizens in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Kaduna and neighbouring states, IRT led by Supol Usman Maibindiga, succeeded in arresting all 5 members.
The gang specialised in trailing motorists carrying money withdrawn from banks and robbing them. All suspects were arrested in Kaduna State. “Items recovered from them include master keys, spanners, pliers and several tools used in opening cars and breaking car glasses,” Kyari said.
