They are being interrogated while in police custody.
Men of the Police Rapid Intervention Unit in Douala have arrested three individuals with 1,000 crates of beer. The three suspects, Emmanuel Arcin Zo’obo, Lucien Tchoffo Nkonhawo and Oumarou Yaya were nabbed late October at Bonassama as they were busy off-loading the bottled liquor.
This is the second time within a month that individuals stocking beer and sweet drinks into warehouses have been arrested and confessed to the police of having stolen drinks.
It was during their regular patrol that the police led by Senior Police Constable Andre Guedjou discovered that a funny game was going on around a trailer bearing number plate LT TR 4845, parked along the road.
When the occupants of the trailer saw the policemen, they took to their heels but were stopped in their flight by the police. A rapid interrogation of the three permitted the policemen to understand that the direction of the trailer had been diverted by the alleged robbers. The three suspects with the 1,000 crates of beer and the trailer were taken to the Central Police Station N°3 in Bonassama as investigations continue to arrest the other culprits.
