Vigilance by members attached to the Western Cape Flying Squad led to the arrest of three suspects on 12 September 2017 at about 15:00.
Members arrested the suspects who were seen driving suspiciously around business areas in Lansdowne Road, Nyanga.
When their vehicle was pulled over they could not give account of who the owner of the vehicle was. The suspects were taken to the police station for further investigation.
Through fingerprint results it was discovered that they were linked to several housebreaking cases.
One suspect is linked to a Lentegeur case, the second one to a case in Strand and the third one to a Woodstock case.
The trio aged 22, 25 and 28 are all from Crossroads and will appear in different Magistrate’s Courts this week on housebreaking charges.
Members were applauded for their visibility and vigilance because they prevented further crime from being committed by the suspects.
