The latest victim believed to have been targeted by this gang is an Indian expatriate who sustained injuries in the assault that required him to be hospitalized.
The suspects, all between the ages of 18 and 20, are accused of targeting foreigners in four locations of the city, including a petrol station.
The gang robbed the workers after assaulting them with knives. They then ran away with their wallets and valuables in cars after hiding their number plates.
Police started a manhunt after receiving several complaints from foreign workers. They managed to arrest two members of the gang in the beginning. Police also recovered knives and stolen money from their car. They were later identified by the victims.
