Gauteng police arrested eight men for allegedly robbing a Fordsburg warehouse of goods worth over R700 000 on Sunday. Police patrolling the area apprehended five men who were loading boxes of clothes, watches and shoes on a truck.

Superintendent Thembi Nkwashu says they also caught a security guard who was supposed to be on guard in a nearby building. Independent Online reports that the security guard was questioned and searched. Police found DVD’s from the warehouse in his possession and he was arrested. He then led police to two men, who were also found with DVD’s from the warehouse in their possession.

The men are due to appear in the Johannesburg magistrate court on Monday.
