phones, laptops, necklaces, wrist-watches, and ear-rings.

snatched from me, Lagos Task Force Officers chased these
criminals, got them arrested and recovered my laptop for me.”

were four-member gang, saying that every snatched or stolen items were sold as fairly used at either computer village, 
Ikeja or Obalende, Lagos Island.

 stolen item would be supplied to computer village at Ikeja or
Obalende where they would be sold back to unsuspecting
buyers as fairly used products.”
