Alleged car thief caught dismantling Toyota Yaris for parts in Lagos.
In the bustling streets of Lagos, the vigilant Lagos State Police Command recently apprehended a man called Monday Julius on suspicion of stealing a Toyota Yaris automobile in the busy area of Oshodi. This swift action was taken by the officers of the Ilupeju division following a detailed probe into the matter of the missing vehicle. Upon locating the suspect, they discovered him in the act of disassembling the car, presumably with the intention of selling its individual parts.
The official statement released on Monday, August 26th, highlighted the events, stating, "Members of the Ilupeju Division were prompted by a report concerning the disappearance of a Toyota Yaris Saloon Car. Consequently, they arrested a 39-year-old male named Monday Julius in the locality of Oshodi. Observations revealed that the suspect had initiated the process of dismantling the vehicle to peddle its components due to an inability to sell it intact. The successful recovery of the vehicle has been achieved, and our investigative efforts remain ongoing."
