The Enugu State Police Command has made progress in combating vehicle theft with the detention of four suspects involved in separate theft operations. This operation led to the recovery of one vehicle stolen in Enugu and two additional vehicles snatched in Anambra, illustrating effective collaboration between the police and the Neighbourhood Watch Group. The police spokesman, SP Daniel Ndukwe, reported that one of the detained suspects was attempting to escape with a stolen vehicle when apprehended on February 26.

The details surrounding the apprehension reveal the systematic approach the police are taking to address vehicle theft within the region. One suspect, Joseph Nsor, was detained after being found with a stolen Toyota Hiace bus, which he had accessed using a master key. The police confirmed the recovery of the vehicle and the identity of its owner, with the suspect subsequently arraigned in court and remanded into custody. This case highlights the ongoing issues of vehicle theft in Enugu and the police's response to such crimes.

In addition to the case of Nsor, the police have also been working on related incidents tied to vehicle theft in Anambra, indicating a broader network of crime that spans both states. The emphasis on intelligence-driven operations signifies a more focused and proactive law enforcement strategy. The involvement of local community resources, like the Neighbourhood Watch Group, showcases how community cooperation can enhance policing efforts and potentially reduce crime in the area.
