The Police in Zamfara have arrested members of a gang of hoodlums who specialise in smashing vehicles to steal money.

He said police operatives went after a notorious criminal gang, led by ‘Alhaji Bello’ and his gang members to forestall their plan to attack some communities in Anka and Bukkuyum Local Government Areas of Zamfara.
