Police restore N55m Stolen Benz in Delta

The Federal Capital Territory Police Command has confirmed the recovery of a N55 million Mercedes Benz GLB 250 stolen by a prospective buyer who was test-driving the luxury ride.

TRACKNEWS earlier reported that a car dealer, Mohammed Manga, raised the alarm that one Mr Henry, who disguised as a customer, absconded with the vehicle while testing it in Abuja.

Mohammed explained that one of his friends who is also a car dealer took the Mercedes Benz to a prospective buyer (Henry) for sale but trouble started when Henry begged to test-run the car after the price was settled at N55 million.

Henry, however, zoomed off with the car and has not been found since he embarked on the text-drive spree.

The FCT command subsequently declared Henry wanted over the stolen N55 million Mercedes Benz ride.

The command spokesperson, SP Josephine Adeh, however disclosed that the car has been recovered in Delta state.

According to her, the recovery of the stolen vehicle by the Delta State Command is an indication of the collaborative efforts of the Police across board.

“The FCT Command had earlier initiated a discrete investigation into the incident and alerted other Commands, which led to the recovery of the vehicle”, she added.
