Tricks use by thieves to rob in Lagos Traffic

It has become very worrisome on how thieves engage in their robbery act during the usual traffic within Lagos State. Just last month more than three cases of this type of robbery where announced. 

With the arrest of some of the syndicate, their mode of operation has been reveal. Here are the two major tricks used by these criminals.

1. By pretending to be hawkers: In order to get close enough to steal from people during traffic, robbers disguise as street hawkers. This enables them to prey on prospective buyers during traffic jams.
2. By pretending to be passengers: They also disguise as passengers which gives them free access to steal from other passengers. One of the five traffic robbers arrested by the Police revealed this in his confession.

One of the robbers confess that: "Most times, we pretended as passengers to rob people."

Hopefully, things will get better as Governor Ambode is set to fight traffic robbery by buying three helicopters.
