According to the police, the victims reported the incident to the Motor Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD) after they left the scene.
The police noted that the passengers identified the motorbike and sandals of the robbers, thus, when the suspects got to the MTTU checkpoint on their motorbike, they were arrested.

The two are currently in Bole Police custody for further investigation.
Police says the motorbike and other items retrieve from the suspects will serve as exhibit in court after investigation.
