Nine men robbed a business on St Johns Road, Edenvale, on Wednesday morning.
The acting spokesperson for the Edenvale SAPS, Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts, said five of the men were armed.
“The men entered the business and tied up all the employees before loading printer cartridges into the back of a vehicle and fleeing the scene,” said Lt Col Roberts.
He added that fast reaction by the Edenvale SAPS Sector vehicles resulted in one arrest.
“A man matching the description given to the officers was stopped as he was about to board a taxi onto the R24,” said Lt Col Roberts.
The man was later positively identified.
He was also found in possession of a firearm and ammunition.
Approximately two hours after the robbery, officers from the Sebenza SAPS spotted the vehicle which the men used.
A chase ensued and the driver of the vehicle crashed the car before fleeing into a nearby field in Kempton Park.
The property taken during the robbery was recovered.
