Armed Robbers Escape By Throwing Money Into Crowd In Warri

THREE suspected bandits pursued by
the police, Tuesday, sprayed bundles of naira on
a crowd at Ajamuogha, Warri, Delta State, to
cause commotion and make their escape easy.
Their gimmick succeeded as people scrambled for
the naira notes while they escaped, leaving the
anti-kidnapping patrol team angry.

Police spokesperson in the state, DSP Celestina
Kalu, who confirmed the incident, said: “On
Tuesday, at 11:45a.m., operatives of anti-
kidnapping patrol team on routine patrol along
Ajamugha Road, Warri, accosted a red Vento car
with number plates DELTA UGH 519 MZ, with
three occupants.

”On sighting the patrol team, the suspects
zoomed off and the patrol team gave them a
chase to Ajamugha Sharp Corner, where the three
occupants alighted from the Vento car and ran
into the crowd of people throwing money at the
people. They eventually escaped.

”The abandoned Vento car was recovered. On
searching the vehicle, two cut-to-size double-
barrelled guns, 31 live cartridges, 10 expended
cartridges, four different pairs of car number
plates, one Nokia 201 handset and one Lexus car
key were recovered.

“Efforts are on to track down the fleeing
criminals.”
