The attention of the operatives was called to the robbery incident by the passersby plying the route and they swung into action immediately and dislodged the armed robbers who later ran into the bush.
The expressway has been a perpetual root for armed robbers for a long time.

He urged the residents of the state to expose criminals in their environment to the security agents and they should be security conscious about their environment.
