“Members received information regarding the whereabouts of two suspects wanted for several crimes within the Durban area which included the Greenwood Park area,” explained Marshall Security spokesperson Tyron Powell. “The information indicated that the suspects were present at a well-known tavern in the KwaMashu area.
“The suspects had left and were driving in a white Hyundai H1 kombi. Members then acted swiftly and spotted the vehicle travelling on Zulu Road where the vehicle was stopped. This swift action led to the immediate arrest of two suspects aged between 18 and 19 years old. More information led the team to one of the suspects’ homes. During the search, the members found and recovered an unlicensed shotgun. It was established that the shotgun was stolen in a house robbery in December 2021 within the Sydenham area,” Powell said.
The suspects were transported to the Greenwood Park Police Station for further investigations.
