However, the police chased them and, in hot pursuit, nabbed them.

When the police brought them to the police station they recovered a toy gun, a sharp knife, debit/credit cards registered on other people’s names, a mobile phone and a self-defence spray. Also, a pair of hand gloves, two scarves and a motorcycle were seized from them.
