According to a statement from the police, the two suspects, a male and female entered the forex bureau under the pretext of changing some money but managed to steal some dollars from the counter of the bureau on the blind side of the attendant.
Upon realising that the money had been stolen, the attendant went after them but the two sat in a waiting vehicle and drove off.
Police say it has initiated investigation into the crime to get the suspected thieves arrested to face justice.
The Police seized the opportunity to advise the general public, especially operators of forex bureaux to be vigilant and where necessary report any suspicious activities to the police, as this could be a new approach adopted by criminals to steal from unsuspecting persons.
Police are therefore appealing for information which might lead to the arrest of the two foreigners.
