The statement said that the woman had requested the service of the Vulcanizer after having a flat tire which was promptly fixed.
After the Vulcanizer left, the statement said further, the woman discovered that her underwear spread on a rope was missing which prompted her to report at Warewa Divisional Headquarters of the Police since the suspect was the only one who came in to her compound.
He was subsequently arrested and the missing underwear discovered in his possession.
The statement read, “The suspect was arrested following a report by a woman who reported at Warewa division that she discovered that her car tire has been deflated when she wanted to go out which is the reason why she invited the suspect who is a vulcanizer to come and fix the tire for her.
“After fixing the tire and left, she discovered that her pant that was spread on a rope within the compound has been missing. Since the vulcanizer was the only person who came to the compound, she went round in search of him but he is nowhere to be found.”
“Upon the report, the DPO Warewa division, SP Folake Afeniforo, detailed detectives to the area where the suspect was traced and arrested. His house was quickly searched and the woman’s pant was recovered there in.”
On interrogation, according to the Police, the suspect confessed to have stolen the pant with the intention of taking it to an herberlist for money making ritual.
Meanwhile, the commissioner of police, CP Kenneth Ebrimson, has ordered the suspect be charged to court as soon as investigation is concluded.
