As part of a renewed effort at ridding the area of criminal elements and safeguard lives and property of the people, the Kaduna State Police Command has arrested 182 crime suspects.

Police authorities disclosed the operatives arrested the suspects over various offences during operations in different parts of the Northern state.

The operatives nabbed suspects in their hideouts and black spots during a coordinated operation, spearheaded by Divisional Police Officers (DPOs) in metropolitan areas, particularly Rigasa, Kawo, Tudun Wada, Sabon Tasha, and other communities.

Similarly, Police operatives acting on a tip-off arrested two suspected car thieves at Kakuri, in Kaduna North Local Government Area.

The officers later apprehended his accomplice, Bashir Usman (aka yellow).

The suspects, the Police stated, confessed to robbing a residence in Gona, using knives and cutlasses, and stealing a Honda Accord.

The stolen vehicle was later recovered in Zaria, while efforts are ongoing to arrest other fleeing gang members.

Some of the suspects have been charged to court, said the Police Command.
