Police foil robbery, arrest 12 suspects in Delta. 

The Delta State Police Command has made a significant arrest, catching over 12 suspected armed robbers in the act. According to SP Bright Edafe, the command's spokesperson, the police swooped in on the suspects while they were preparing for their next robbery, recovering an English pistol, a long double barrel gun, a locally made cut-to-size gun, and over seven cutlasses .

In a video confession, two of the suspects revealed that they would often scale fences to gain entry into their victims' homes, and that some of their previous operations were successful because the victims failed to lock their doors at night.

Edafe urged residents to take basic security precautions, emphasizing the importance of locking doors, especially at night. This is not the first time the Delta State Police Command has made a significant arrest. They have been actively cracking down on crime in the state .
