Primrose police were recently called to the corner of Ceres Street and Maroela Road, in Primrose, by community patrollers.
“The community patrollers told officers they had apprehended two men who had allegedly attempted to rob a resident,” explained Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.
When the police arrived on scene, the two men, aged 19 and 25 years old respectively, were handed over to them.

“The one suspect reportedly had a knife in his possession and the other a smart watch,” said Maome.
“When asked who these items belonged to they could not give a clear explanation or provide any proof of ownership.
“They were arrested on a charge of possession of suspected stolen property and taken to the Primrose Police Station.”
The suspects have since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court, where their case was postponed for plea and trial.
