After committing the act, the perpetrators then headed to Georgetown. As a result, anti-crime patrols in Division 4A were immediately alerted, and intercepted two of the suspects with one of the motorcycles.
The 23-year-old male was caught hiding in a dugout with water at North East La Penitence, while the 15-year-old was arrested in James Street, Albouystown.
Police have since recovered the stolen items. The two were taken into custody as Police continue their search for the other perpetrators.
