A gang of robbers whose modus operandi is to attack, snatch and run and in some cases,maim their victims met their water loo today in Owerri. This happened along Umezurike Hospital Road by Nworie River.

An unsuspecting young Lady was walking along the said road,not knowing that he was being trailed by the hoodlums operating with Keke.They approached the lady,grabbed her handbag and hit the road.

The attack made the victim to raise alarm which attracted ever vigilant and conscious Imolites including operatives of Imo Civil Guards. The criminals were given a hot chase that made them to run.

Their trick to distract those pursuing them by throwing away the handbag yielded failed as the charged pursuers sustained their pursuit.In the melee that ensued, plain cloth police officers patrolling around joined them.
