According to police investigators, the duo had adopted the appearance of delivery personnel to approach residential homes. Once granted access, they would rob the occupants at gunpoint. Authorities said that several CCTV recordings had surfaced from the crime scenes, which played a crucial role in identifying and locating the suspects.
Officials believe the gang had specifically targeted affluent areas, taking advantage of the trust people generally place in home delivery services. Police stated that further investigations are under way and more arrests could follow if links to a wider network are established.
