The police command in Delta state says it has recovered the Mercedes Benz GLB 250 stolen by a professed buyer in Abuja on June 30.

“This Benz stolen from a car stand at Abuja has been recovered in Delta. The suspect, Meshak Suinuohro, is still at large,” he wrote on Twitter.
“He specialises in stealing vehicles while pretending to be an intending buyer. Anyone with useful information as to his whereabouts should please contact the police.”
