"They used the letter T key to break into motorbikes, and it only took about 15 seconds to steal a vehicle," he explained.

Seala added that investigators are still investigating the possible involvement of other actors and tracing the network of collectors.

"We continue to develop this case. To the public, we urge you to always be vigilant and report immediately if you have lost a vehicle," he concluded.
