Four suspects were arrested
this week for being in possession of false registration number plates and
stolen goods.
On Thursday, police members received
information of a white Hyundai, which was involved in an armed robbery in
Goodwood earlier. The members responded to the information upon which they
spotted the mentioned vehicle driving in Jakes Gerwel Road.
In as much as the vehicle
tried running away members managed to give chase and stop the vehicle.
The Police’s Anelisiwe Manyana
said the two suspects tried running away on foot but members apprehended them.
Upon searching the vehicle, members
found registration plates in the vehicle which are believed to have been used
to commit crime. Members also recovered a purse containing stolen bank and ID
cards.
“Further investigation
revealed that the suspects are linked to seven armed robberies committed in
Woodstock, Elsies River, Goodwood and Parow. The Two suspects aged 30 and 37
were detained at Goodwood SAPS.” Manyana.
In another incident on the
same day, members of Maitland Flying Squad were on the lookout for a Mercedes
Benz motor vehicle with false registration plates in Cape Town area. The
members followed up information and found the vehicle in Rondebosch area where
they pulled over and searched the vehicle. Members discovered false
registration plates, a substantial quantity of bankcards and point of sales
devices inside the vehicle.
Two suspects, aged 35 and 42
years, were arrested and detained at Rondebosch SAPS.
“The four suspects will appear
in the Goodwood Magistrates Court, once charged on the mentioned charges.” Anelisiswe
