According to a police statement, the three are believed to be the main gang leaders of the robbery syndicate.

The Adabraka jewellery shop robbery, which occurred on Saturday, November 2, 2024, threw the Adabraka market area into panic when four masked and heavily armed men carried out a bold robbery in broad daylight.
The assailants targeted a man sitting in a red Toyota Corolla car parked near the busy market, firing several warning shots into the air to disperse traders and shoppers.
Eyewitnesses said the gunshots triggered chaos, forcing people to flee and abandon their stalls as the robbers carried out the attack in full view of the public. One person sustained serious injuries and was rushed to hospital for treatment.
