N55m vehicle stolen in Abuja found in Delta

The photo of a suspect who reportedly absconded with a Mercedes Benz GLB 250 during a test drive has surfaced after he was declared wanted by the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command.

Recall that a car dealer identified as Manga had filed a complaint alleging that one Henry, who claims he resides in Gwarinpa, absconded with one of his cars.

Recall that Manga’s friend who also deals in cars, took the Benz worth N55m and with a mileage of 19000 to Henry for a test drive.

It was learned that a few minutes into the test drive, Manga’s friend excused himself to withdraw money from a point of sale (PoS) operator. It was at this point that Henry disappeared with the car.

However, in a new development, the stolen Mercedes-Benz GLB SUV was found in Delta State and it was recovered nearly 4 days after the suspect absconded with it.

Announcing the recovery of the stolen car, an auto dealer, posted a photo of the alleged thief and a video of the car on its official Twitter handle.

The user stated, “Alhamdulillah its OFFICIAL‼️ The Stolen Car (MERCEDES BENZ GLB-250, 2021 MODEL) Was found today 4th July, 2023 in NIGER DELTA (ASABA)!”

The SUV was found in Asaba but the thief is still on the run.
