A native doctor with 25 other persons suspected to be members of a car theft syndicate, have been arrested by the police force in Rivers state
All the suspects have been accused of snatching 79 cars in total in the state.
Parading the suspects before newsmen, the state Commissioner of Police, Olatunji Disu, said the shrine believed to be used by the “juju-priest” in fortifying the criminals for their operations had been confiscated.
The police boss mentioned that Chidube, Anthony and Kelechi (a car mechanic) were major culprits in the car-snatching business, disclosing that Chidube trains his men on car snatching and he was linked to all suspects arrested while Kelechi is an expert in removing trackers.
He added that the suspects use spare keys to steal cars while most of the cars stolen were taken to Kano and Anambra states, where they sold them off, even as scraps.
‘’Their witch doctor has been arrested. He tells them when it is safe to go for an operation. We also have a team of robbers, who follow you when you go to the bank. When you resist them, they attack and fire you. Their firearms have been recovered.
