Officers were called to a report that two people had been robbed near to Aldi in Foundry Lane at about 20.10 on the night in question.
Descriptions of suspects were passed to officers on the ground who carried out swift area searches and within 27 minutes of the initial call, had arrested four people who had all made off from the scene on foot in different directions.
