THE Police Command in Enugu State has detained two suspects for alleged car breaking and stealing within Enugu metropolis.

The Command’s Spokesman, DSP Daniel Ndukwe, said in a statement on Saturday in Enugu, that the police operatives also recovered stolen phones and the suspects’ operational vehicle.

Ndukwe said that the feat was achieved by police operatives serving in the New Haven Division, on Sept. 24, 2024, around 4 p.m.

He said that the police operatives
detained one Abuchi Kenneth, 27, and one Ifeanyi Odu, 29, for breaking and stealing a Samsung Galaxy and Infinix smartphones from a car parked on Rangers Avenue, Enugu.

“A preliminary investigation reveals that the suspects, who respectively gave their addresses as Zuba, Abuja, and Nekede Owerri, Imo State, surreptitiously broke into the parked car and made away with the phones.

“However, upon receiving information on the criminal act, police operatives promptly went after, intercepted and arrested the suspects at Otigba Roundabout, Enugu.
