A 34 year old man and three women were arrested by police in Mitchells Plain during a search operation in Bontebok Street in Eastridge.

This follows after police acted on information obtained during a robbery investigation when two armed men robbed a municipal worker of his hand-radio the previous day.

“While the search operation was being executed police found the stolen hand-radio and seized two reported stolen vehicles, 38 grams of tik, 38 grams of heroin, suspected stolen items such as electrical appliances and jewellery as well as a large amount of undisclosed cash,” says police spokesperson Captain Elliot Sinyangana.

The suspects will appear in the Mitchell’s Plain Magistrates Court on Thursday facing charges of possession of drugs and suspected stolen property.
