Four robbery suspects have been arrested by security operatives in Abuja while the criminals were trying to dispossess their victim.
The gang was reportedly specialized in one chance robbery of innocent citizens within the FCT.
According to a statement released by the Nigeria Police Force, the robbery syndicate was made up of one female and three male persons.
On August 10, the gang picked a female victim and attempted to rob her of belongings at Central Business Area. While struggling with the suspects the victim saw a police patrol team and raised the alarm. The police officers and other brave citizens noticed the woman and came to the rescue.
The suspects tried to escape but they were arrested by the police team with support of members of the public at scene.
Although members of the public attempted to lynch the suspects, the police team managed to prevent the bloodshed by making a call for backup. Police re-enforcement was reportedly sent to the area and the suspects were eventually rescued from angry mob and the situation was taken under control.
While the suspects were brought to the station for interrogation, the victim has volunteered useful information.
Two other people identified one of the suspects as one of those who robbed them recently using the same one-chance method.
