Operatives of Katsina State Police Command successfully foiled an attempted attack in Dutsinma Local Government Area by bandits and recovered three operational motorcycles used by the criminals.
The incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, April 30, when a patrol team from Dutsinma Division intercepted suspected armed bandits near Yanshantina village.
A security source told Zagazola Makama that the patrol, led by a Superintendent of Police, engaged the suspects in a fierce gun duel, forcing them to flee.
“During the encounter, three Boxer motorcycles used by the suspected bandits were recovered at the scene,” the source disclosed.
While some of the criminals escaped into the nearby bush, security personnel are said to be intensifying efforts to track down and arrest the fleeing suspects.
