In pursuit of realizing the SAPS’s mission to ensure that offenders are brought to book, vigilant SAPS members attached to Khayelitsha SAPS arrested three suspects for carjacking and armed robbery.
On 5 January 2018 at about 18:30, the 49 year old complainant was delivering furniture at a residence at Chris Hani Street, Site C, Khayelitsha, when he was approached by three unknown men. Two of them were armed. One of the suspects fired a shot into the ground and the victim ran for safety into the house where they would do the delivery.
The suspects followed him into the house. They demanded money and took the key of the vehicle from him. The suspects then drove away with the vehicle and furniture. A patrol van passed the crime scene and the victim stopped them. Police gave chase and managed to arrest three of the suspects and recovered both the vehicle and the furniture.
These arrested suspects are due to appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrates’ Court on Monday 8 January 2018, on charges of carjacking, armed robbery.
