The police have arrested four suspects in Bedfordview on Thursday evening.

They were arrested in connection to high-end jewellery robberies outside hotel, apartments, and conference venue.


It is heard that the original members of the “Rolex gang” were apprehended, but the police has not confirmed it yet.
