| One of the suspects. Inset: the burnt vehicle |
Three suspected criminals, who allegedly
specialised in snatching bags from women in Calabar, Cross River State,
were on Tuesday hacked with machetes almost to the point of death by
residents of the area.
The suspected criminals were trailed by
eyewitnesses after they had allegedly succeeded in...
snatching the bag of
an unidentified woman who had just come out from a bank in the area.
The Volkswagen Vento salon car which was allegedly used for the operation was also set ablaze by the angry mob.
An eyewitness and a newspaper vendor,
identified simply as Asuquo, said the thieves snatched the bag
containing an unspecified sum of money from the woman who stepped out of
First Bank premises along Calabar Road and sped off.
He explained that unknown to the
suspects, another unidentified lady had driven behind them in company
with others after she spotted what had happened. They intercepted the
Volkswagen car at Goldie/Atu junction where an angry mob later took
over.
