Sandton police nabbed two armed robbers and recovered a stolen police firearm in Bryanston on 17 February.
According to Captain Granville Meyer of Sandton Police Station, the men were between the ages of 33 and 45.
“The suspects were arrested after police received information from the victim who was tracking his cellular phone that was stolen during the robbery,” said Meyer.
He said one of the suspects was found in possession of a 9mm Parabellum with one magazine and two 9mm rounds. “The serial number on the barrel was erased but the serial number on the frame was visible.”
“After the investigation it was found that it was a police firearm that was stolen during a burglary in the Douglasdale policing precinct last year.”
The suspects appeared in Randburg Magistrates’ Court on 20 February.
