THE Anambra State Police Command has arrested a 64 year-old grandfather and two members of his syndicate, who allegedly specialize in car snatching in the South Eastern States.

Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Mrs. Nkiru Nwode, who paraded the suspects in Awka, said they were arrested at Nnobi in Idemili South local government area of the state. According to the PPRO, the suspects stole a wine coloured Toyota Tacoma SUVcar  parked by a worshiper on a Sunday at St. Michael’s Catholic Church, Amakohia, Owerri, Imo State, adding that the suspects were tracked by men of the state command to Nnobi where they were arrested through a tip-off.

Nwode, who gave the names of the suspects as Monday Uche (64), Sunday Ofoekwe (42) and Joseph Chikezie (60) said Uche and Chikezie conspired with two others, Samuel Okowa and Johnson Okowa, still at large, to remove the car where it was parked in the church.
