“They have also carried out robberies of clients who have just withdrawn money from their banks,” the police said.
According to the police one of the suspects, identified as Ambani, was arrested on October 19 after being captured on CCTV robbing a man shortly after he had stepped out of a bank, but he was released on cash bail and has since been linked to more mugging incidents.
“We call upon members of the public to immediately alert the police should they spot him or get robbed on the streets,” the police said in a tweet.
