Operatives of the Rivers State Police Command, specifically the HAWK Tactical Team, foiled an armed robbery attempt at Igbo Etche Junction in Etche Local Government Area, Rivers State, Nigeria.
Following a distress call received around 6:40 PM, police disrupted the robbery in progress, where armed suspects wielding firearms and cutlasses had blocked the junction to rob the public.
The police recovered one firearm, two live AAA cartridges, one expended AAA cartridge, and two operational motorcycles (a black Opel Sum and a black Quilink, both without registration numbers) intended for use in the robbery.
The suspects fled, but the operation prevented the crime and secured the items.
