The Akwa Ibom State Police Command has recovered a stolen Toyota Camry barely a week after it was reported missing from a hospital car park in Abak LGA.
According to the Command, the car was stolen on July 18, 2025, while the owner—who had received a tally card at the hospital gate—was inside for a medical appointment. He returned to find the vehicle gone without a trace.
Thanks to strategic stop-and-search operations, the stolen car was recovered on July 26, 2025, at around 9:30 PM along Ikot Ekpene Road Main Park. One Otoabasi George Ime, found in possession of the vehicle, claimed he had bought it from a car stand in Uyo LGA.
The suspect and the vehicle are currently in police custody as investigations continue. Police spokesperson DSP Timfon John assured the public that thorough investigations are underway and findings will be made public.
The Command urges residents to remain vigilant and promptly report suspicious activity.
