According to the official Facebook page for the South African Police Service the police were blocking the road when the suspects noticed them and made a u-turn, trying to avoid the roadblock.
The suspects fled towards Alexandra but we’re picked up by Metro police Crime Prevention members.
The suspects jumped out of their white BMW and proceeded to flee on foot but were arrested. Further investigation revealed that the BMW was reported hijacked in Lenasia in January this year.
Police recovered five unlicensed firearms including three 9mm pistols and two R5 rifles, two blue lights, two reflector jackets, hand cuffs, cable ties, ammunition for different calibre firearms and a siren.
The Cluster Commander of Alexandra applauded the members of the police for a job well done and said that they were not ruling out the possibility of linking the suspects to other crimes that were committed in the Cluster.
