Tending to pressmen yesterday in Port Harcourt, Deputy Police Commissioner, Mr. Uche Anozia, said:
"On July 8, last Friday, we got a report by one Mr. Stanley Ndubuisi of Bankers Warehouse, around a missing bullion van. It was leased by Zenith Bank and Stanbic Bank, here in Port Harcourt to bring money from Aba.
"Arriving Port Harcourt, it went to Zenith Bank, conveyed the cash implied for the bank. As indicated by the complainant, by then the fighters landed and left. Presently it remained the cash for Stanbic Bank and the driver alone. Therefore, the driver slipped off with the cash.
"We got data on July 11, that a specific Ford Explorer was stopped at the premises of Everyday Supermarket, situated in GRA and that the vehicle contains sacks suspected to be bank property.
"I quickly dispatched my DC Operations to the territory to confirm. Luckily for us, it was found that the sacks in the vehicle have a place with Stanbic Bank due to the seals on them.
"The sum recuperated, by, is N60,250,000. The driver that stopped the auto there is the driver of Everyday Supermarket. He is on the run now."
