In what can only be described as an unusual crime scene, burglars who broke into a Lagos residence took their time to not only steal valuables but also enjoy a meal during their illegal activities.
The incident, which has left both police investigators and the community stunned, saw the suspects making themselves completely at home in the most literal sense.
The Unusual Crime Scene
According to police reports, the burglars didn't just rush through their criminal enterprise. Instead, they took a break mid-crime to prepare and consume food found in the victim's kitchen.
Investigators discovered evidence showing the intruders had:
- Used the microwave to heat up chicken
- Consumed the heated meal on the premises
- Washed it down with cool drinks from the refrigerator
- Left behind evidence of their impromptu dining session
Police Investigation Underway
Law enforcement officials have expressed both amusement and concern at the audacity of the criminals. The Lagos State Police Command has launched a full investigation into the incident, following all available leads.
"This shows a level of boldness we don't often see," commented a police source familiar with the case. "Most burglars want to get in and out quickly, but these individuals treated the place like their own personal restaurant."
The combination of stolen electronics, personal items, and the unusual dining evidence has provided investigators with multiple angles to pursue in their search for the suspects.
Community Reaction
Residents in the affected Lagos neighborhood have expressed both shock and concern about the incident. Many are now reviewing their home security measures, recognizing that some criminals are becoming increasingly brazen in their methods.
The case serves as a reminder to all homeowners to maintain proper security protocols and remain vigilant, even against criminals who might pause for a snack during their illegal activities.
