The Lagos State Police Command has arrested a member of three-man armed robbery gang, which specializes in snatching vehicles in Lagos and its environs.
The suspect, identified as Chukwudi Iwueke, was arrested at the scene of the robbery operation along Pedro, Somolu, while two others escaped.
It was learned that the trio chartered a Toyota Camry at Lekki Roundabout. The driver charged them N15,000 to take them to Oshodi, not knowing they were robbers.

Trouble started when the robbers ordered the driver to pull over, while approaching Palmgrove.
Realising that the passengers were armed robbers, the driver stopped the vehicle and initially resisted the robbers.
He was, however, immediately dragged out of the car by one of the robbers at gunpoint, but was able to hold on to one of the robbers and call for help, while the other two zoomed off with the vehicle, his wallet and phones.
It was gathered that the victim bought the Toyota Camry two months ago, and decided to pick passengers on his way home from work.
The police recovered one locally-made gun and four live cartridges at the scene of the robbery operation.

It was gathered that the case, which was transferred from Pedro Divisional Police to Special Anti-Robbery Squad, SARS, is currently being investigated, even as the command is making efforts to arrest other members of the gang, who are currently at large.
Speaking to newsmen, the suspect, 30-year-old commercial bus driver, who identified himself as Chukwudi Iwueke, said: "I was arrested because I went to a robbery operation with members of my gang. My friend asked me to join them for the operation to snatch a car that we would sell.
"We succeeded in the operation, but the other two members of the gang drove off with the car after the owner of the car held unto me, raised alarm and people around caught me and then took me to the police.
"I was a commercial bus driver before I went into robbery. I ply Ikotun/Iyano-Ipaja route.
"Initially, I was a company driver before the Indonesia expatriate travelled back to his country; hence I started driving the commercial bus last year April.
"I was introduced to robbery by one David, who was my conductor, while I was a commercial bus driver.
"When we started having issues on the road with Police and LASTMA officials and found it difficult to deliver the daily pay to the owner of the bus, he introduced me to armed robbery.
"I agreed to participate in the operation as they promised to give me N100,000 after we sold the car to sort my accommodation problem.
"We were at Lekki roundabout when the victim stopped to pick up passengers. The gang leader, Sunny, asked him to carry us on charter from Lekki to Oshodi.
"Unknown to him that we were armed robbers who wanted to snatch his vehicle, he agreed and billed us N15,000.
"I was sitting behind the victim, while David was beside him at the front, with Sunny beside me at the rear.
"Immediately we got to Jibowu area, Sunny signalled me to make a move, which I did by pointing a gun at the victim but he was stubborn and resisted us initially."
