The accused allegedly opened the door and ran away with a bag containing cash and other assorted items towards the Nadera Public Rental Board housing complex.

Bystanders who witnessed this alleged incident pursued the accused and managed to apprehend him and handed him over to Police.

The other two accused were arrested afterwards and were charged with one count of robbery each, also for their alleged involvement, as the victim’s bag was recovered without its contents which included money.

The Commissioner of Police Brigadier General Sitiveni Qiliho has commended the efforts of all those who had assisted in the arrest of the accused persons.
