Sources said that the suspects, identified as Imran and Kashif, entered a plastic factory in the city and fired at its owner, who managed to dodge the bullet.
The owner said his factory workers immediately caught the robbers and started beating them up.
The workers later handed over the men to police on assurance of an inquiry being carried out against them.
The robbers belong to Gojra and Tendiyanwala.
As reported earlier, three alleged robbers were tortured to death by a mob of angry villagers in Faisalabad in the month of August.
The robbers, after committing robbery in a house, were confronted by armed villagers. The bandits threatened the villagers and demanded safe passage. However, they were swiftly overpowered by the villagers who reportedly snatched their guns.
The mob gave the bandits a severe thrashing during which the bandits cried for help and apologised but none paid any heed. Several villagers also fired at the dacoits inflicting bullet injuries and profuse bleeding.
