Police intercept 3,600 litres of petrol in polythene bags

The Lagos State Police Command has recovered 3, 600 litres of fuel from suspected pipeline vandals in the  Aquatira area, 1st Avenue by 12 Road, in the FESTAC area of the state.

Punch gathered that the suspects, however, fled the scene on a canoe following the arrival of the police.
A police source said the vandals always pumped fuel in the area at night.
He said the fuel was always stored in polythene bags, adding that each bag could take as much as 150 litres of fuel.
The source said the hoodlums were initially loading the fuel in a tanker, but later changed their technique so as to evade the vigilance of the police.
