Police arrested three males yesterday and seized three firearms with ammunition in them at a Broad save Cash and Carry supermarket in Strand.
They had been informed about the situation and arrived on the scene immediately, says Captain Elliot Sinyangana.
When police arrived the suspects saw them and held Employees hostage.
Hostage negotiators, an Intervention unit and other Crime scene experts were contacted.
Sinyangana says that after several tries to get the suspects to communicate with the negotiators, they were left with no other option but to penetrate, as a result of the arrest and confiscations.
Jewellery and cellphones were also confiscated after a further investigation.
The suspects are facing charges of armed robbery, possession of unlicensed firearm and ammunition. They will appear in court in January next year at the Strand Magistrate court.
The investigation still continues. Any one with information is requested to phone Supt Nyanisile Vase at Strand SAPS, at (021) 8459104/25 alternatively call crime stop on 0860010111.
