The yet to be identified woman alleged that an official towing vehicle belonging to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) attempted to pilfer her possession.

In a twist of fate, the culprits allegedly took to their heels when her neighbours, witnessing the illicit act, quickly sprang into action and raised the alarm.

According to the owner, it is believed that the loud noise and commotion caused by the neighbours startled the criminals, forcing them to flee the scene empty-handed leaving their own vehicle behind.
