The Federal Capital Territory, FCT Police Command has located the Mercedes Benz GLB 250, valued at N55m, which was stolen during a test drive in Abuja.
A photograph of the suspect, who had been declared wanted, has also emerged.
The Car dealer Manga had lodged a complaint, accusing one Henry, a resident of Gwarinpa, of absconding with the vehicle. Manga’s friend, who is also a car dealer, had taken the N55m Benz with a mileage of 19,000 to Henry for a test drive.
During the test drive, Manga’s friend left briefly to withdraw money from a point of sale (PoS) operator. It was at this moment that Henry vanished with the car.
In a recent development, the stolen Mercedes-Benz GLB SUV has been found in Delta State, nearly four days after the suspect fled with it.
An auto dealer announced the recovery of the stolen vehicle on their official Twitter handle, sharing a photo of the alleged thief and a video of the car. They posted, “Alhamdulillah its OFFICIAL‼️ The Stolen Car (MERCEDES BENZ GLB-250, 2021 MODEL) Was found today 4th July, 2023 in NIGER DELTA (ASABA)!”
Although the SUV was found in Asaba, the thief remains on the run.
