The collaboration between the community and the police has yet again proven to be effective following the arrest of armed robbers and the recovery of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition in Germiston on Friday afternoon, 18 October 2019.

It is alleged that three suspects entered a shop in Germiston and pointed a firearm at the manager, demanding cash. The manager resisted while the community members who were around called the police. The swift response by the police led to the arrest of two suspects while still at the scene and a loaded pistol was seized from the suspects.

Three more suspects fled the scene in two vehicles – a Toyota Corolla and a Toyota van.

Preliminary investigation has linked the arrested suspects to other business robbery cases within Germiston.

Police have launched a manhunt for the suspects that are still at large and are appealing to anyone who might have information about their whereabouts to please contact the nearest police station or crime stop on 08600 10111.

The arrested suspects will appear at Germiston Magistrate’s Court on Monday, 21 October 2019.
