“Vincent Junior and four others have been nabbed. They’re in our hand. They also recovered a gun.
“He used to supply them (armed robbers) weapons. When we arrested some of them, they say this was their source of getting arms.
“So, we had to move to Warri to get him arrested and even made recovery. An investigation is still going on.
“We might stumble on additional arms we don’t know. It is an investigation that will show,” he noted during a chat with journalists on phone.
Recall that the notorious female armed robbery suspect, Bella Lucky and two others, were arrested recently in the same area where the armourer, Vincent Junior, was arrested in Warri.
Lucky specialized in luring her victims to her criminal gang with a commercial tricycle in Warri and its environs before their arrest was effected by the police squad.
