Suspects arrested for airport heist

Three suspects are behind bars and police are hot on the trail of others believed to be members of the gang that stole a 100-million rands from Johannesburg International Airport at the weekend. Airports Company of SA managing director Monhla Hlahla says the three suspects apparently know the airport system well. Nelspruit serious and violent crimes unit commander captain Ockie Brits told Beeld at least another six suspects have been identified. A group of men armed with AK-47 rifles stole the foreign currency from a SAA flight in a well-planned heist in a high-security area.
