“The robbers rushed from their hideouts and ordered all the passengers to surrender cash and cell phones they were carrying or risked being shot. Some of the passengers were beating by the robbers when they try to hide some of the belongings. They robbers fired gunshots to secure the driver to stop. After their successful robbery they move straight to the other vehicles to rob the passengers.” he said.
