The commandant said the suspects were nabbed red handed, while dragging the ram away. He added that the arrest was as a result of a tip-off by residents of Gida-Dubu quarters and its environs about the activities of the suspects.
According to him, the suspects have admitted committing the offence and would soon be charged to court.
