Alexandra Police Station spokesperson Captain Stephen Malatjie said the man was arrested following a tip-off. “Last night, just before midnight, the police arrested a 32-year-old male suspect on 11th Avenue, Alexandra.
“He was caught in possession of explosive devices, jar bottles stacked with dagga and suspected stolen televisions right inside his residence.”
