Lagos police arrest couple, teenage son, girlfriend for stealing
A couple has landed in trouble for allegedly aiding their teenage son in stealing properties in Lagos.
Police say Tega Teddy had broken into an apartment in Harmony Estate, Ajah after the owner embarked on a 3-month vacation.
He was alleged to have stolen a Chevrolette saloon car, TV, generator, standing fan, 5 leather bags, home theatre sound system, an iPad, shoes, and other items.
All the items, according to the police, were discovered at Tega’s parents’ house at New Osho layout, Langbasa.
Police accused Mr Uroye Teddy, 45, and Mrs Margaret Teddy of aiding their son as he committed the crime.
Tega’s girlfriend, Karima Edom who is said to be a close neighbour of the victim, allegedly acted as an informant for him.
The theft which had been going on for weeks, was found out by the victim’s househelp, Eniola Abisola, who promptly notified the police.
Police say Tega confessed that he entered the victim’s house through the ceiling, and gradually, he began to pack the household items to his father’s house. He narrated that his mother helped him to hide the stolen items in an uncompleted building while his girlfriend hid some in her house.
Tega further revealed that his father went with him to the victim’s house to tow the car, while his mother was said to have put up the stolen properties for sale.
