“It is alleged that on 30 May at about 12.00pm, members of the JHB West Cluster Police were patrolling around Florida when they noticed a silver Renault Sandero with registration number FN 03 RS GP stationary in front of a house on Skinner Street, with three men trying to force open the gate,” she explained.
She added that when they saw the police, they jumped into their car and drove off. “Police followed them to Berg Street, where they searched their vehicle and found house-breaking implements,” she said.
According to More, all four of them had previous charges, ranging from hijacking and business robbery, to possession of both unlicensed firearms and housebreaking implements on their criminal records.
