The Lagos State Police Command has recovered 16 cars from a five-man gang suspected to be specialists in snatching and selling of cars within the state and in different locations, including Abuja, Port Harcourt and Benin City.
Among the suspects is a 53 year-old man who is allegedly notorious for changing engine and chassis numbers of stolen vehicles.
While parading the suspects at the headquarters of the command, the Commissioner of Police Mr Kayode Aderanti, told journalists that the men were arrested by the special Anti-Robbery Squad, following persistent complains and tip off from members of the public.
