“We arrested five suspects and recovered two unlicensed firearms and five pair of SANDF uniforms. There will be an investigation to establish why those people have military uniforms. It will be investigated if they wanted to commit a crime [wearing] the military uniforms,” said Metro police spokesperson Wayne Minnaar.
“We will also investigate to see if they are already linked to any crime. The suspects are currently detained at Johannesburg Central.”
