They are expected to appear in the Tom Burke Magistrate’s Court soon.
Provincial Police Corporate Communications Head, Motlafela Mojapelo said the four were arrested by a Lephalale Detective Task team as well as members of the Bela-Bela Tracking Team and all stolen firearms were recovered. He said Police initially though three suspects were involved who broke into a farmhouse and reportedly used a grinder to cut open the safe.
