We pose as customers to survey our targets –Burglars

Detectives attached to the Oyo State Police Command have arrested eight suspects, who allegedly used to pose as customers to survey targeted shops or warehouses, before burgling them at night.
Revealing the gang’s modus operandi, the police said the suspects used to visit shops or warehouses they were planning to attack and pretend to be customers interested in buying some of the merchandises displayed Police said: “Once they get to the selected shops, they would ask for items the owner of the shop may not have. They used that opportunity to check out the layout and security of the shop.
In the night, while people are sleeping, they would burgle the place.” The suspects have been identified as Hammed Agboola, 31, Raji Lukman, 34, Olatoye Abiodun, 66, Oladimeji Saheed, 28, Olawepo Jamiu, 24, Raimi Ajadi, 75, Harrison Ifeanyi, 48 and Chinabere John, 35.

They have successfully burgled the warehouse and carted away caterpillar spare parts worth N25m and 43 brand new tyres, worth N650, 000, before they were arrested.https://newtelegraphonline.com/pose-customers-survey-targets-burglars/
