In late June, it was reported that an interested buyer had made away with an N55 million Mercedes Benz in Abuja after deciding to test-run the vehicle for a while before making payments.
However, early this week, reports surfaced online that revealed that the vehicle had been found in Delta State.
On Wednesday, July 5th, the State Commissioner of Police in Asaba, Wale Abbas, confirmed that the N55 million vehicle was found in a bush on Monday, 3rd July.
While speaking to the press, the Commissioner revealed that the vehicle was abandoned in a bush in Ughelli, Delta State.
He stated:
“Sequel to a complaint received on July 3, 2023, around 5 pm from a car dealer in Abuja whose vehicle was stolen from his car stand by the suspect who disguised as intending buyer and absconded with the said vehicle during a test drive on June 30, 2023, in Abuja.
“Armed with available intelligence, operatives of the CP-Decoy Squad stormed Ughelli town around 1.15 am on July 3, 2023, and recovered the said Mercedes Benz SUV abandoned in a bush along Oteri road by Doctors Quarters, Ughelli North LGA. Serious manhunt for the suspect is ongoing.”
