He sounded a note of warning to criminals in the state to desist from their nefarious activities, “otherwise they will have the command and other security agencies in the state to contend with”.

“Items recovered from the suspects include one long blue hose and 55 transparent cellophane packs containing products suspected to be crude oil.”
