Police in Bauchi State have arrested a 35-year-old suspect after recovering 460 metres of Stonecut roofing sheets allegedly stolen from a shop in Azare, Katagum LGA. The materials, valued at ₦2.26 million, were reportedly taken from a Kano Road shop after thieves allegedly gained entry with a master key. Detectives from the Azare Division traced and intercepted the sheets along the Azare–Jama'are Road following intelligence reports. Police said the suspect allegedly confessed and named another person as an accomplice. The second suspect is still at large, while the case is expected to be transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department for further investigation and prosecution.

Were the sheets transported in a vehicle, or moved in smaller batches?

The recovery is encouraging, especially considering materials worth ₦2.26 million can seriously affect a small business owner.

Recovery is good news, but an arrest alone does not explain how the materials left the shop in the first place.

Shop owners handling bulky stock may need tighter inventory checks, secure storage, and quick reporting whenever materials go missing.
