On Monday, 24 June 2019 at about 18:00, it is alleged that a man entered a tavern in Vusani Street, KwaNobuhle in Uitenhage.

Five hours later, with the assistance from residents, one of the suspects was traced to a house in 10th Avenue, KwaNobuhle and was arrested. Police are closing in on the other suspects and their arrest is imminent.
