Four robbers terrorising Rivers State residents and impersonating operatives of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad (F-SARS) have been shot dead.
The criminals, who were armed with AK-47 rifles and other weapons, died in a gun duel with F-SARS operatives, after robbing Mr. Wey Nwinanadun in his home at Ogbogoro, Port Harcourt in Obio/Akpor Local Government last Saturday about 6a.m.
Items recovered from them included a brown Toyota Avalon XLS saloon car registered as Lagos BP 151 EPE, suspected to have been stolen, plasma TV set, laptops, phones, AK-47 rifle, among others.
The robbers had attacked Ada-George and Iwofe areas of Port Harcourt.
A victim, Nwinanadun, while inspecting the recovered items, hailed F-SARS operatives for their bravery, courage and determination to rid Rivers of criminals.
F-SARS Commander Akin Fakorede said yesterday that the operatives would reduce crime.
