The Police Spokesman further revealed that one English-made pistol was recovered from the suspects, among other incriminating items.

While noting that the arrested suspects confessed to the crime and mentioned Akada, who is currently at large, as their gang leader, the Police Spokesman also explained that efforts have already been put in place to track other fleeing members of the gang.
