She said the women reportedly sped up and the suspects then shot at the tyres and forced them to a stop.
“The complainant locked all the doors and windows, but the suspects broke one window and opened the car door. They robbed them of their clothes, cash and cellphones and fled the scene in their unidentified car,” she said.
