He said that items recovered from the dislodged armed robbery suspects included an abandoned Toyota Tacoma Hilux Pick-up Van with registration number APP 556 EG and one berretta English pistol.

Other items recovered included: five rounds of live ammunition, a dagger, one ATM card, South African currency notes, a wrap of weed suspected to be Indian Hemp and customs paper of the vehicle, Amaraizu said in a statement.

The police spokesman said the suspects were dislodged based on intelligence information.

On Feb. 28, at about 2:10 a.m., two young men approached the Police College Oji-River Automated Teller Machine (ATM) on bank transaction when officers on duty at the College challenged them.

They took to their heels, abandoning their Toyota Tacoma Hilux Pick-up and other dangerous weapons such as a pistol and some ammunition, he said.

Amaraizu noted that efforts were still on to track the fleeing armed robbery suspects.
