Five of the seven armed men who robbed three expatriates near the ExxonMobil Headquarters at Seven Mile on Saturday 30th November, have been caught by 6 Mile police officers.
The robbery happened around 11:05 am when the expatriates were stopped by seven men armed with homemade guns.
The men stole valuable items, including an iPhone, a drone, wallets, visa cards, and bank cards. The victims reported the robbery to the 6 Mile Police Station, and officers quickly began working on the case.
The police officers tracked down and arrested five of the suspects the next day on Sunday afternoon. The five are now locked up at the 6 Mile Police Station and are being questioned.
Inspector Bruce Amos, the Police Station Commander (PSC) at 6 Mile Police Station, praised his team for their quick response.
“I want to thank my officers for doing a great job catching the five suspects,” he said. “I also want to thank the other police teams who supported us during the operation.”
Inspector Amos confirmed that the two remaining suspects are known to police and are called on to turn themselves in.
“These two men are known to us. It’s better they surrender now because we will not stop until we catch them,” he stated.
He also reminded the public of the importance of working with the police.
“We need the community’s help to keep our city safe. If anyone has information, please come forward,” he added.
The police are continuing their work to find the remaining suspects and recover the stolen items.
