Armed robbers attacked a bullion van around Otor-Owhe, Isoko North Local Government Area of Delta State on Thursday, carting away an undisclosed sum of money.
The gunmen reportedly emptied the content of the bullion van into their get-away vehicle and zoomed off to an unknown destination.
However, reacting to the incident, the Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Bright Edafe, said; “No money was carted away during the billion van attack, as the bullion van was empty.
He added that the hoodlums escaped with gunshot injuries after a gun duel with police officers.
However, sources said the gunmen had shot sporadically at the bullion, shattering its windscreen as its driver was forced to screech to a halt. A source said, “Shards of broken glasses still littered the scene of the crime.”
