“The man informed members that his friend has been assaulted and robbed in Alexandra Road by men who had then gone into a nearby building. Members proceeded to the scene and interviewed the man. They swiftly arrested four men inside the building, who were all positively identified by the man for robbing and stabbing him,” she said.
Upon searching the suspects, three knives and cash to the value of R900 were recovered.
“The knives were used for stabbing the victim and the money was taken from him. All items will be used as an exhibit,” said Khomo.
