Vulindlela police restored hope to the victims of crime by re arresting Phikolomzi Sonakele (23), one of the four dangerous suspects who escaped from the Mdantsane Correctional prison last week.
Phikolomzi originally from Mqanduli was re arrested by the police through community assistance at his hideout in a forest at Nxarhuni location earlier on 19 January 2018.
He is the second suspect to be re arrested after Sandile Vena who was re arrested on Tuesday 16 January 2018. Two more escapee are still at large, we urge the members of the public not attempt to arrest them but to rather inform the nearest police station as they are considered very dangerous.
The suspect is due to appear in the Mdantsane Magistrate’s Court soon, facing charges of escaping from lawful custody.
Vulindlela Station Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Monde Mgolodela, thanked Nxarhuni community members for their assistance.
“The partnership between the community in Nxarhuni and the police is growing from strength to strength. We need to stand together in a fight against crime,” he said.
