Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Yobe Police Command Damaturu, SP Dungus Abdulkarim revealed in a statement. According to him the Police Command has recorded a series of criminal incidents linked to vehicles with tinted glasses, including a recent vehicle burglary along the Damaturu-Potiskum road where ₦500,000.00 was stolen by criminals operating with tinted vehicles.
