Police arrested three male suspects between the ages of 21 and 26 years old for armed robbery and possession of unlicensed fire arms and ammunition in Spine road Faure.
Captain Frederick van Wyk says the arrest follows after the police on routine patrols noticed that a Green Jeep Cherokee, with three occupants, was parked along Spine road.
A preliminary investigation revealed that the vehicle was robbed at gun point from the owner, in Lollie street Woodstock on Thursday night, van Wyk says.
“During the search of the vehicle the police recovered three stolen fire-arms which were hidden in a blue denim bag, inside the vehicle.”
The Modus Operandi used by the suspects on the night of the robbery was to bump into the complainants vehicle, as he stopped to determine the damage, two suspects jumped out and threatened the complainant with a firearm and took his vehicle, and sped off, said Captain van Wyk.
The suspects are currently in police custody will appear in the Cape Town Magistrate court today on chargers of armed robbery and possession of unlicensed fire-arms and ammunition.
