“A suspect disguised as a security guard was arrested on the scene after he was found in possession of an unlicensed 9mm pistol with seven live rounds of ammunition. It is alleged that during the robbery he took uniforms from the security guards that he was found wearing it to disguise himself,” said Giblin.
One suspect was arrested for dealing drugs at Vusi Musi Section, Thembisa. Nyaope (heroine) and rocks (cocaine) were confiscated.
