The Rapid Action Battalion (RAB) has arrested two suspected Rohingya robbers in possession of arms and ammunition from Teknaf upazila of Cox's Bazar.
Md Romiz, 27, and Md Shafiq, 30, were arrested from Teknaf’s Leda Camp area during drive by a team of RAB-15 early on Wednesday, Lt Col Khairul Islam said at a media call.
During primary interrogation Romiz and Shafiq confessed to being active members of a robbery gang known as “Putia Gang”, he said, adding that different kinds of guns, 18 rounds of ammunition and some clothes had been recovered from a sack.
RAB had been keeping an eye on them since the arrest of another member of the gang, Khairul Amin, on February 19.
The accused would be handed over to Teknaf police once a case was filed against them, the RAB official said.
