The young guys gave him a hot chase and caught up with him, they later alerted the police team that visited to the scene and arrested the suspect. Two fabricated iron master key was found in his possession and obviously it is part of the instrument used to unlock unsuspecting car owners vehicles, he gets into the vehicle and drives the car away.
