stolen items.
Anikpee was arrested with two stolen vehicles, 65 car

victim's car, was recovered from them. Also recovered from
them was a Toyota Corolla with registration number, RSH
741 MW, suspected to have been stolen.
"All the suspects in these cases will appear in court upon
completion of investigation."
