The Western Cape Anti Corruption Unit is requesting the assistance of the public to identify three suspects who are sought on a charge of robbery. On 26 January 2019 at around 15:15, six suspects approached a cellular store in Strand Street, Cape Town, identified them as police officers and claimed to be acting on a search warrant for drugs and firearms.
Three of the suspects were dressed in civilian clothes, two in uniform and one in civilian clothes with a police issue bullet proof vest. The suspects gained access to the back of the store and conducted a search. During their exit, one of the suspects dropped a back containing an amount of R1620-00 which was left behind.
The suspects fled the scene in two vehicles with a cellular telephone taken from the store.
Our investigations have resulted in the arrest of three of the suspects, who are due back in court on 8 April 2019.
The three suspects depicted in the attached images capture with surveillance cameras are yet to be identified and apprehended. If you recognise any of the suspects and can assist police with their whereabouts, kindly contact Detective Sergeant Vuyolwethu Mbona on 0219183860 or 0824112602.
