POLOKWANE – Following a brazen heist at one of Africa’s busiest airports just weeks ago, five suspects have been arrested.

Reports suggest that one is said to be a member of SAPS, while three others are said to be security personnel working at the airport.

The men are expected to appear in the Kempton Magistrate’s court on Monday with sources saying more arrests are expected soon.

A total of R24m in foreign currency was stolen from a plane at the airport earlier in March after suspects, in a marked police vehicle, intercepted the money after a SAA flight landed.

Following the news of the arrest, Twitter users took to the social media site to poke fun at the situation.
