The Adamawa State Police Command on Thursday arrested a suspect, Musa Suleh, who specialises in stealing cars and two vehicles were recovered from him in the Hong Local Government Area of the state.

SP Suleiman Yahaya, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) of the state, made known to journalists on Monday as he said that the operatives were led by the Divisional Police Officer of the Yola Division, who swung into action after intelligence reports got to him.

Suleh was arrested for owning vehicles suspected to be stolen at Jambutu Motor Park in Yola North local government area.

SP Yahaya said the suspect confessed to stealing a Toyota Starlet, with registration number YLA-420, belonging to one Babawo Abubakar of Ngurore, Yola South LGA. The vehicle has since been recovered.

Another green colour Toyota Starlet with registration number: JAL-861 CL was equally found in the suspect’s possession without a document or proof of ownership to justify ownership of the vehicle.

Commissioner of Police in the state, CP Dankombo Morris, has directed that the case be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation to uncover the source of the vehicles.

The Command called on members of the public to cooperate with the police by giving timely and useful information regarding suspicious characters around them, and reassured them of the Command’s unwavering commitment to safeguard lives and property.

Police said the suspect would soon be charged in court upon completion of the investigation.
