The suspects are now cooling their heels in custody as police process the case in preparation for their court appearance.

On detection of the theft, Rodgers and his partners in crime holed up never to show up at work, but preliminary investigations by DCI’s Serious Crimes Unit has placed him (Rodgers Ochieng’) at the crime scene.
