Police in Lagos State have arrested three fraudsters who pick passengers in their car and begin to argue about dollars in the boot to bait and defraud their victims.
Police spokesman in Lagos State, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, stated on Wednesday that the three suspects – two men and a lady were arrested on the Lagos mainland after a similar arrest was made on Lagos Island on Tuesday.
He explained that the fraudsters would deliberately start an argument about dollars in the boot of the car, making unsuspecting passengers to intervene and subsequently get defrauded.

Police also impounded their operational vehicle, he stated.
“The suspects will be arraigned at the conclusion of investigation,’’ the police spokesman assured.
