“The scrap dealer, however, refused to buy the stolen items from them and alerted Amotekun operatives who sprung into action immediately and apprehended the suspects on the spot,” he said.
Idowu said during interrogation, the suspects confessed that they stole the items at a mechanic workshop in Akure, Ondo State and relocated to Ode-Omu to sell the items before they were apprehended.
He said the suspects had been transferred to the Ondo State Amotekun Command for further investigation and prosecution.
