The swift response by members attached to the Mitchells Plain Crime Prevention Unit stopped two robbers in their tracks on 5 June 2019, shortly after a cellular telephone store was robbed in a mall in Mitchells Plain. At around 13:50 three suspects entered the business, held staff at gunpoint and fled with cellular telephones valued at a substantial amount.
Upon exiting the parking area with their getaway vehicle, a black Mercedes Benz, they collided with another vehicle and was forced to abandon their loot and flee on foot. They were pursued by police who managed to apprehend two of the three suspects aged 24 and 27.
The stolen cellular telephones were recovered and it was established that the Mercedes Benz was hijacked in Gugulethu recently.
