A middle-aged man, David Olatubosun, and his son, Abiodun, were paraded by the police in Ibadan on Monday for alleged robbery.
The suspects were arrested at Mikky Spot, Randa area of Ogbomoso, after a stolen Toyota Camry car snatched at gun point in Lagos was found in their possession.
The Oyo State commissioner of police, Baba Adisa Bolanta, who paraded the suspects at the command headquarters, Eleiyele, Ibadan, said his men also discovered eight other vehicles at their premises at Iyalode's Compound, Ogbomoso.
He added that the Olatunbosuns were found with vehicles that include Nissan Jeep (CE 434 KSF), Toyota Camry (CF 256 RSH), Toyota Corolla (EM 562 ABJ), Honda Accord (AJ 681 LRN), Toyota Corolla (BV 848 APP), an unregistered CRV Real time jeep, a Toyota Sienna Bus (BK 259 KUJ), and Honda Jeep CRV (DD 201 LSD).
Apart from the automobiles, Mr Bolanta said that the police team also caught the suspects with two police AK 47 rifles, which were buried at a farmland in the town.
The police chief said a farmer, on whose land the rifles were buried, informed the Area Commander's office about the discovery. He said the men of the command stormed the area after receiving the information and took custody of the items.
Painted in police colour, the guns were marked 535653 and 3604188 and carried magazines that contain 30 and 28 rounds respectively.
The police boss, who said the guns were still serviceable, added that the command was determined to unearth all necessary fact about the development.
