The suspects, who are between the ages of 32 and 42 years, were arrested a few days after a house robbery on Baines Street, Rynfield, on June 30.
Benoni SAPS spokesperson Capt Nomsa Sekele said it is alleged that a couple went on holiday and left their house keys with the domestic worker.
“On July 2, a relative came to the house to check if everything was still fine, but to his surprise he found all doors to the house open and some household items were missing,” said Sekele.
“The man called the couple, who referred him to a CPF member who called the police.”
The suspects stole appliances, jewellery and two cars.
One of the stolen cars was founded abandoned in Daveyton.
On July 4, two of the suspects were arrested in Daveyton. One was found with some of the stolen goods.
On July 11, another suspect was arrested in Midrand. The fourth suspect was arrested on July 2 in Cloverdene.
All four suspects made their appearance in the Benoni Magistrate’s Court on July 14 and were remanded in custody.
Police are still searching for the domestic worker, who is alleged to be linked to the crime.
Anyone with information can contact the Benoni SAPS on 011 747 0000.
