Four male suspects will appear in the Athlone Magistrate's Court tomorrow following an armed robbery which took place on Tuesday in Lansdowne, Cape Town.

During routine duties police became aware of two vehicles parked in Cameron Street in Belgravia. They approached the two people sitting in the vehicle and discovered a set of car keys. It turned out to be keys of a car who was hijacked earlier that afternoon.

"Police seized three vehicles that were reported stolen and confiscated a toy gun," says police spokesperson Siphokazi Mawisa.

The same evening at 19H50, police members attached to Gordon’s Bay dog unit arrested the four suspects between the ages of 17 and 21-years-old.
