Photos: Three robbers arrested after crashing car through wall
Fourth robber still at large.
Three suspects, who are wanted on the East Rand, West Rand and in Pretoria, have been arrested after they crashed their vehicle through a residential wall.
The incident took place at about 12.30pm today (17 August) when the Roodekrans Neighbourhood Watch (RNW) was alerted to a housebreaking in Pafuri Street. RNW, DMS Security, Apcan Security, and Dowry Security’s high risk unit as well as the police immediately started searching for the vehicle the suspects were allegedly using. When it was spotted, a chase ensued, but at the corner of Azalea Avenue and Silver Tree Street the suspects lost control of their vehicle and crashed through the perimeter wall of a property. Three suspects were arrested. One of the suspects was arrested after he fell in the pool and could not swim. The fourth one managed to escape into the veld nearby.
A large quantity of stolen goods was found in the suspects’ vehicle.
At the time of publication, the search was still on for the escaped suspect.
