The barkings of dogs towards the direction of
suspected armed robbers on Tuesday assisted
policemen from Bwari division to track down
three suspected armed robbers, who robbed
some residents in the area.

stormed Tudun Fulani area of the town during
a heavy down pour and robbed some residents
of their belongings.

the area, adding that some dogs were barking
continuously towards the area the robbers fled
and the police moved to the direction.
According to our source, the policemen after a
search saw the armed robbers, who were
celebrating a successful outing.
The source said they were drinking alcohol
inside a bush around Tudun Fulani area in
Bwari when the police met them.
The police source said the three suspected
armed gang confessed to the crime, saying
they chose to operate during the heavy down
pour because even if someone raised alarm
nobody would come out.

were wearing as at the time of the arrest,” she
said.
She said investigation is still ongoing on the
incident.
