The vigilance by members of the Maitland Flying Squad led to the arrest of a 33-year-old male for negligent driving, housebreaking and the possession of an imitation firearm.
The members received information about suspects involved in a house robbery which was perpetrated in Mowbray. The vehicle was spotted in Sea Point and the driver of the vehicle sped away from police.
A high speed chase ended when the vehicle was stopped and searched.
The suspect who was found with an imitation firearm is due to make a court appearance in Cape Town Magistrates court on Monday 10 January 2022.
