The Police Public Relations Officer, Omolola Odutola said in a statement in Abeokuta that the suspects, Shaibu Isah, Sunday Achiri, and Azeez Mufutaru, were apprehended following a tip-off.
She said the 21-year-old Shaibu Isah who claimed to be a resident of Ibadan, Oyo State, was arrested while trying to unchain and steal a parked motorcycle with registration number SGM 557 VQ.
The command’s spokesperson pointed out that the two other suspects were arrested while planning to steal a tricycle that was given to them on hire purchase.
She said the duo admitted to absconding with the tricycle, registered as SRA 036 UM, belonging to an individual named Precious from Mowe, with the intention of disposing of it.
The suspects, along with the recovered items, had been handed over to the Redeemed Divisional Police Officer for further investigation.
