The FCT Criminal Investigative operatives last week busted a notorious ‘one chance’ criminal syndicate while perfecting plans for an operation.
The syndicate specializes in luring their victims feigning to have large sum of dollars in their vehicle and in need of idea on what to do with it.
It was gathered that hours before their planned operation, police patrol team attached to Garki division arrested one of the suspects after dispossessing his victim of her handbag, handsets and the sum of N12,200.
A knife was said to have been recovered from him as exhibit.
“He made confessional statements regarding their mode of operation and said they specialized in lying to their victims by telling them they were carrying millions in the trunk of their car and that they would need some money to spiritually neutralize the money from any curse that is on it. He confessed that so many people have fallen victims, especially married women,”
When contacted, FCT Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent Anjuguri Manzah, confirmed the arrest, saying one Mazda 626 was recovered from them.
He said the FCT Commissioner of Police has ordered an immediate investigation into the matter and the arrest of other suspects.
The FCT police spokesperson also said that same day, acting on tip off, police patrol team arrested three suspects in connection with the theft of iron doors at Gwarinpa.
