“Three other suspects, also in possession of firearms pointed towards the passengers, forcing them to lay flat on their chests. They searched the passengers and driver and removed their cell phones. The criminals placed their feet on the passengers. One suspect drove the vehicle and dropped the driver and passengers off in Marianhill, before they drove off with the vehicle,” said Vijiam.
