\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Following incessant bike snatching at the Orogwe\/ Ohii junction in Owerri West, commuters who returned home for the Yuletide saw hell getting to their destinations.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 The category of commuters who felt the pains more were those who had to arrive the said junction late at night from their destinations because most motorcycle riders closed shop as early as 6pm just to escape the wrath of bike snatchers who raided the junction regularly.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0However, last Tuesday was a black Tuesday for a motorcycle thief as luck ran against him after he had successfully disconnected a bike and was almost driving away with it.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0A source, who pleaded anonymity told this Reporter that the thief was already in motion with his loot when a little boy who had been watching the drama drew the attention of the owner of the lady’s machine, ” aunty, somebody has removed your machine”, the boy yielded.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 This brought commotion as other okada riders started their machines and gave the thief a chase, who on sensing danger had to drop the bike but he was unlucky.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0The angry mob gave the thief a chase and apprehended him even as he ran into a nearby bush. He was caught and brought to the scene of crime.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0The thief, in his late thirties with tattoo all over his hand from wrist to shoulder, brandishing an expensive wrist watch and smartly dressed.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0On interrogation, he confessed how many times he had visited the area and had field days.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 It would be recalled that last December over ten motorcycles were snatched from their owners many\u00a0 who are still nursing various degrees of wounds till date for trying to put up resistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
