Benin Thief Trapped by Phone Left at Crime Scene After Tricycle Theft
The incident began overnight July 1–2 when a farmer’s tricycle vanished from his courtyard in Benin’s Avlamè village, local reports reveal. Frenetic barking from his dogs alerted the owner, who chased the suspects to the village outskirts.
Panicked thieves abandoned the tricycle during their escape – but left behind a critical piece of evidence: a mobile phone.
Police used data from the forgotten device to arrest the primary suspect, who subsequently identified four accomplices.
