Tip off leads to arrest

Police make headway in arrest of some of the most wanted criminals in Soweto.

Last night five suspected criminals were arrested for serious crimes such as rape, murder and high-jacking.

According to Moroka SAPS communications officer, John Serala, these five have been on the most wanted list for a while now.

Serala said they acted swiftly after they received a tip off from residents.

“After a woman called our station and informed us that she saw the quantum taxi that’s been wanted for a long time, we assigned our officers and acted quickly.

“Upon arrival at their hiding place, we discovered two Ak 47s and three hand guns, live ammunition and more than six different car keys and more than R25 000 in cash.

“All the suspects were arrested and will soon appear at the Protea Magistrates Court,” said Serala.

He said when these suspects apply for bail they will strongly oppose it.

“These are dangerous criminals not needed in our society.”
