Five suspects were arrested shortly after a house robbery in Tshawuka Street on March 25, 2026, following a swift response by SAPS Kwazakele members.
The robbery occurred at approximately 15:45, when five suspects arrived in a silver Suzuki Ertiga and robbed the homeowner of a television and two cell phones.
Police responding to the scene spotted the vehicle exiting Kwazakele soon after the incident, leading to a vehicle chase. The pursuit ended at about 16:15 when SAPS officers pulled the vehicle over on Lindsey Road, opposite Livingstone Hospital.
All five suspects, aged between 18 and 32, were taken into custody. During the arrest, police confiscated a 9mm pistol with six rounds of ammunition and a substantial amount of cash.
The suspects face charges of house robbery, illegal possession of a firearm, and illegal possession of ammunition. Additional charges may be added as the investigation continues.
The case is being handled by SAPS Kwazakele. The suspects are scheduled to appear before the New Brighton Magistrates’ Court on March 27, 2026.
