Police in Warri have uncovered a criminal gang and their armoury in the Adheje community along the Sapele-Warri road, recovering various arms and ammunition after a suspect terrorizing residents in the area was apprehended.

This was disclosed on Friday by the Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, who stated that special operatives from Orerokpe launched the search after a 25-year-old, Dafiaga Timothy, from Effurun Community, was arrested and handed over to the DPO.

The Command’s Special Assignment Team (CP-SAT), led by ASP Julius Robinson, intensified the interrogation of the suspect, which later led the police to the concealed armoury of his gang members.

During the search, a locally made long gun, a locally made cut-to-size gun, and a fabricated Beretta pistol loaded with five rounds of live ammunition were discovered, along with ten live cartridges and a dagger.
