The victim stated to officers that he was able to locate his moped as well as his friend’s stolen moped. The victims stated that they were able to retrieve their stolen mopeds.
Shortly after, two suspects dressed in all black entered the rear of 25 Calder Street in an attempt to take the mopeds again. The suspects threatened the victims and they lifted up their shirts which revealed that they both had firearms inside their waistbands.
