The Kano State Police Command has recovered two motor vehicles reported stolen, using the Nigeria Police Force’s Electronic Central Motor Registry (e-CMR) platform.
This was contained in a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, S.P Abdullahi Haruna Kiyawa on Friday.
According to the statement, the incidents occurred on separate occasions earlier in January.
“On January 1, a resident of Abuja reported that two unidentified individuals approached his car stand in Zuba, Abuja, expressing interest in a Toyota Corolla 2014 model. During a test drive, the suspects brandished a pistol, threatened the victim, and fled with the vehicle, including its original documents and keys.”
Similarly, on January 4, a Mercedes Benz C300 parked in front of Luxirian Event Center in Nassarawa GRA, Kano, was stolen from its owner, a resident of Hadejia Road, Kano.
In response, the State Commissioner of Police, CP Salman Dogo Garba, deployed detectives from the Anti-Car Theft Unit to recover the stolen vehicles.
“Acting on information obtained from the e-CMR platform, the team located the stolen Toyota Corolla behind the old Airport in Bauchi State and the Mercedes Benz in Shagari Quarters, Kano. The recovery efforts spanned January 10 to January 15,” the statement added.
Speaking on the operation, CP Salman Dogo Garba commended the detectives for their efficiency.
He encouraged members of the public to register their vehicles on the e-CMR platform to enhance security and facilitate quick recovery in case of theft.
“The e-CMR platform is a vital tool for preventing and addressing vehicle theft. I urge everyone to take advantage of this system by registering their vehicles through the website *https://cmris.npf.gov.ng
