The police made an arrest on 2 Indonesian nationals who are suspected of puncturing car tires of their victims before following them by motorcycle to rob these victims once they come out of their car to replace the flat tires. The arrest was made in the morning of 26 September along Monivong Boulevard, near the Ministry of Information. In the afternoon of 25 September, the police also arrested 2 other Indonesian nationals, after the pair were following a woman who just withdrew money from the bank, and whose car had a flat tire. After the arrest of the 2 Indonesian nationals, the police found several evidence on them, including 14 pointy objects similar to those used to puncture tires of previous victims.
