Police arrested two men for various crimes
including assault with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, common robbery and
possession of unlicensed firearm.
Police Spokesperson Jay Naicker said the
two suspects went to the Mondlo Municipal offices to buy electricity.
They attacked the security guard after an
argument, he was then assaulted and overpowered during the struggle.
It is alleged the security guard’s service firearm fell off as they were
attacking him. Naicker said the suspects fled with the firearm, leaving the
injured security guard on the scene.
Naicker said after an investigation by Mondlo SAPS the suspects were
arrested and charged after they were found in possession of the complainant’s
firearm.
Naicker said the KwaZulu-Natal
Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Mmamonnye Ngobeni commended police
at Mondlo for the swift arrests.
“We cannot allow members of the
community to behave in such a manner and the fact that they deprived the
security officer of his firearm is an indication of a deeper underlying
criminal propensity Naicker added.
