“Preliminary investigation led to the arrest of four suspects with the aid of a CCTV camera installed by the hotel management.

“The case is under investigation and suspects are assisting the police with useful information that will aid investigation, after which those found wanting would be brought to book.”

Mohammed added that the state Commissioner of Police, John Abang, had urged hoteliers to, as a matter of urgency, install CCTV cameras on their premises.
