Motorcycle-Snatching Syndicate Busted in Delta as Police Nab Two in Agbor

Global Mirror News reports confirm that the Delta State Police Command has dismantled a motorcycle-snatching gang operating within Agbor and surrounding Communities following a targeted intelligence-led operation.

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, said the arrests followed investigations into an armed robbery incident reported on December 24, 2025.

Acting on credible intelligence, operatives led by the Divisional Police Officer of Agbor Division, CSP Michael Obekpa, carried out a sting operation on January 4, 2026, at about 10:45 p.m., leading to the arrest of Owakwe Chuks, 37, and Bright Moses, 32.

Global Mirror News gathered that the suspects are believed to be members of a gang that specialised in snatching motorcycles from unsuspecting members of the public within Agbor and neighbouring Areas.

Items recovered from them include a hammer allegedly used to assault victims, a short knife, a brown face mask, a face cap and a mobile phone.

The Commissioner of Police, CP Aina Adesola, reaffirmed that the protection of lives and property remains a top priority of the Command as investigations continue.
