“After the vehicle stopped at the order of the police, the occupants jumped out and ran away. The police gave chase and managed to apprehend two of them,” said Tema.
He said the two were escorted back to their vehicle where, upon searching, the police found a box with cellphones and cellphone display stands.
“The suspects failed to give a convincing account of the possession of the property and were subsequently arrested,” Tema said.
The other two are still at large and the investigation is continuing.
