Operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) of the Lagos State Police Command has arrested a suspected notorious car snatcher identified as Paul Bassey who specializes in robbing unsuspected members of public in Lagos traffic with fake pistol.
Our correspondent learnt that the 25 year old man who is a native of Akwa Ibom was arrested around Lekki – Epe Expressway after he had successfully dispossessed the owner of a saloon car with registration Number, HB 96 AAA grey colour, of all his belongings including a sum of N8, 000 while pointing an iron-made pistol on his forehead.
One of the police officers that arrested him said: “We were on routine patrol duty when we suddenly saw a vehicle on high speed coming behind us. The said vehicle overtook us and its driver forcefully opened the door and started shouting for help. Immediately, we gave the car a hot chase which led to the arrest of a young guy, later identified as Paul Bassey, threatening to snuff life out of the driver if he stops the vehicle.
“We had to radio other police officers around the axis to lay ambush ahead for the vehicle. But on getting to Lekki – Epe Expressway, other cars had occupied the road and the suspected criminal had no choice than to surrender.’’
