The men, who were in a Toyota Premio motorcar car bearing a false number plate, sped away from the police shortly before lunch. The police ranks on motor cycles chased the car which crashed into a drain along Lamaha Street between Vlissengen Road and Republic Street.

Police reportedly retrieved firearms and ammunition from the vehicle. The car’s original number plate HC 7294, was covered with a fake registration HB 7412.

Scores of persons gathered as the police arrested the suspected bandits.
