An intensified investigation conducted by our members attached to Nyanga SAPS led to the arrest of three suspects on the morning of 13 November 2019, who committed a business robbery in Crossroads last month. The alleged armed suspects entered the computer center last month where they threatened the instructor and the students with firearms and robbed them of their cellphones and stole more than ten laptops and thereafter fled the scene.
The suspects were arrested at about 04:00, in Nyanga Area after a tracing operation was conducted by the Detectives. All three suspects between the ages 22 and 23 are expected to make a court appearance in the Athlone Magistrate’s Court soon on charges of business robbery and possession of an imitation firearm.
