A recent weekend operation for officers of the Benoni Flying Squad (BFS) led to three arrests and the recovery of two motor vehicles.
“Officers doing routine patrols on High Road, Brakpan, were stopped by ambulance personnel and given a description of suspects who had just committed an assault and housebreaking in the vicinity,” said BFS WO Grant Giblin.
“The officers proceeded to scout the area and came across two suspects fitting the description and later identified by the complainant.
“The suspects were arrested and detained at the Brakpan SAPS.”

On Sunday, at around 10pm, while on patrol in Atlasville, BFS officers arrested one suspect on Elizabeth Road for driving under the influence.
“In further policing, two abandoned motor vehicles were recovered, a white Mitsubishi truck at Mayibuye, Rabie Ridge, reported hijacked on an Ivory Park case and a white Renault Sandero at Enxiweni Section, Thembisa, reported stolen on a Brakpan case,” Giblin said.
Investigation continues in all cases.
The suspects will appear in the local magistrate’s court, facing charges of housebreaking and theft, assault and driving under the influence.
