Three armed robbery suspects met their Waterloo during a fierce gun duel that ensued between them and police operatives from B Division, Warri Area Command, Delta State.
The hoodlums were reportedly on a robbery operation along Ugborikoko/Giwa-Amu Airport Road, Warri, in an unregistered black Toyota Corolla car on Thursday morning.
Acting on a distress call, DPO of the division, SP Bolarinwa Alabi, led his team to confront the hoodlums and gun battle ensued.
Three of the hoodlums were fatally wounded while other members of the gang reportedly escaped with bullet injuries.
The injured suspects gave up the ghost while they were being taken to the hospital, Police Public Relations Officer, Delta Command, DSP Bright Edafe, noted.
He added that items recovered from the suspects included one cut-to-size locally-fabricated gun, two live cartridges, the unregistered black Toyota Corolla car, and eight different vehicle keys.
