Dhaka, June 3 -- Police have arrested two alleged professional muggers in connection with the brazen snatching of bags and valuables from two sisters outside their residence in Mohammadpur after they returned to Dhaka from their Eid holidays.

Police said the suspects were members of a professional mugging gang who previously lived in Mohammadpur but later shifted their base to Narayanganj to evade arrest while continuing to carry out muggings in the area.
