The Plateau State Police command yesterday alerted motorists queuing at various fuel stations in Jos to beware of hoodlums who steal cash and other valuables from vehicles on fuel queues. 

The state Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Tyopev Terna, said in a statement that the command was dismayed by the rate of the cases and therefore warned motorists queuing for fuel to be mindful of those who engaged them in any form of conversation while on queues. 

While appealing to the public to be mindful of such conversations, the statement noted that, “it may be aimed at diverting the attention of vehicle owners and facilitate access therein for their gang members.” 

ASP Tern also warned residents against the use of public transportation from uncertified motor parks.
