Enwerem explained that they were arrested on April 23, 2017 during a routine patrol along Naze road in Owerri North LGA of the state. He added that they were nabbed while carrying a stolen 50KVA sound-proof generator in a Nissan Wagon vehicle with registration number KRD687AM.

“Suspects were arrested while conveying a stolen 50KVA sound-proof Perkins power generator in a Nissan Wagon vehicle with Reg. No. KRD687AM.

 “Investigation revealed that the Perkins power generator belongs to Amanba Ebikoro Community in Ikeduru LGA. Investigation has been concluded and suspects would be charged to court this morning.”

The state PPRO explained that the generator was recovered from the suspects as an exhibit.
