In the series of shocking events, two individuals were apprehended in the capital following their alleged involvement in a brutal attack on a goods deliveryman. One of the suspects was arrested in Pochard Analakely, while the second was captured in Ampasampito. The gendarmes identified these individuals as being responsible for an attack perpetrated against a goods deliveryman, and their arrests were carried out by the gendarmes of Ambohimangakely and Tana Ville, in two separate locations in the capital. According to information provided by the gendarmerie, the bandits operated by placing orders online, using falsified addresses to organize meetings in discreet locations. Their last target was a deliveryman who had to deliver clothes worth 500,000 Ariary to individuals posing as buyers. Unfortunately, the deliveryman was unaware of the true intentions of these individuals. When he arrived at the agreed location, he was violently attacked by two individuals armed with a log, receiving several blows to the head before losing consciousness. The attackers then stole the goods as well as the delivery man’s bicycle, then quickly escaped. When the delivery man came to his senses, he immediately went to the Ambohimangakely gendarmerie to file a complaint. The authorities opened an investigation which quickly made it possible to find traces of the suspects. After a series of investigations, the gendarmes were able to identify and locate the two individuals, who were apprehended respectively in Pochard and Ampasampito. These individuals, domiciled in Ambatokaranana and Météo Ampasampito, are known for their involvement in suspicious activities in Pochard. They were remanded in custody in Antanimora yesterday. The gendarmerie took this opportunity to remind online sellers of the importance of remaining vigilant and taking adequate security measures during their transactions. It is strongly recommended not to take unnecessary risks by meeting buyers whose identity is not clearly established, using fake accounts or making deliveries to unknown and unsecured locations. The safety of sellers and delivery people should always be a top priority.
