He said, “Upon receiving the distress call, the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) of Trade More division activated an emergency response. All police units, including patrol vehicles, checkpoints, entry and exit points within and around the FCT, were placed on high alert,”

He said with the help of digital tracking technology; the stolen vehicle was traced to Zuba within hours of the robbery.
