The Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, or Taskforce, has apprehended three men suspected of attempting to steal vital vehicle components, including a Toyota Hilux's brain-box, from a parked car. The arrests were made at the VIO facility in Oshodi, where the suspects were caught allegedly removing the brain-box, a crucial component of a vehicle's electronic system.
The Taskforce's Chairman, CSP Adetayo Akerele, revealed that the group targeted vehicles left unattended for extended periods in garages and residential areas, often stealing batteries, brain-boxes, spare tyres, and other essential parts. One of the suspects confessed to the gang's specialization in stealing brain-boxes and their sale to a fourth suspect, identified only as Tony.
The Taskforce assured that the suspects would face prosecution, and urged residents to report suspicious activities to prevent further criminal activities.
