A 26-year-old thief identified as Lucky has been apprehended by the Special Squad of Bayelsa State Vigilante Security Outfit after stealing a mobile phone in Yenagoa.

It was gathered that Lucky, an indigene of Ekeremor Local Government Area, was arrested on Friday, September 18, by the State’s vigilante service, during an operation led by Innocent Kalaingo.

According to Kalaingo, the suspect was arrested after series of tracking and investigation.

He also disclosed that the suspect after stealing the phone gave it to his friend to sell.

It was also learnt that the case was reported to the security outfit by another resident of the neighbourhood identified as Miss Chizoba, who was wrongly accused of stealing the phone as she was in the room at the time the phone was reportedly stolen.

Upon investigation by the State Vigilante Service, the phone was traced to one Mr Ebi, a friend of the suspect also from Ekeremor Local Government Area, who then led the Vigilante team to arrest the suspect, Mr Lucky.

The suspect has been handed over to the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Bayelsa State Police Command for prosecution.
