The command also arrested one other suspect for allegedly snatching a motorcycle in Bauchi metropolis.
This is contained in a statement by the Spokesman of the Command, SP Ahmed Wakil, on Sunday in Bauchi.
He said operatives of the command arrested the suspects (names withheld) behind Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Stadium in possession of phones stolen from different locations in Gombe.
“The suspects offered gratification to a public servant, which was, however, rejected,” he said.
The police, he said, recovered parcels of marijuana, and N78,000 was offered as a bribe to compromise the investigation.
