Delta Police Halt Robbery,Vandalism Rings, Seize Weapon,Recover Stolen Vehicle

Police operatives in Delta State recorded major breakthroughs this week with the arrest of two suspected motorcycle thieves and the recovery of a vehicle loaded with vandalised materials.

The arrests were made on 31 March 2026 during a stop-and-search operation at College Junction in Agbor.

Officers intercepted two men riding a motorcycle who attempted to escape upon sighting security personnel. They were caught after a brief chase.

A search led to the discovery of a locally made cut-to-size double-barrelled gun loaded with two live cartridges.

Investigations linked the suspects to multiple motorcycle snatching incidents in the area, and both are now in custody as further inquiries continue.

In a separate incident on 30 March 2026, a Toyota Sienna suspected to be carrying vandalised items— including iron cuts and a gas cylinder—was spotted in Sapele.

When officers approached, the occupants abandoned the vehicle and fled into nearby bushes.

The vehicle was recovered and taken to the station for investigation as efforts intensify to locate the fleeing suspects.

Both incidents highlight ongoing operations targeting robbery, vandalism, and related criminal activities in Delta State, with authorities continuing to trace suspects connected to the cases.
