Robbers took off with a large amount of cigarettes during a hijacking in Alexandra.
The EMPD found the stolen cigarettes in the possession of the suspects and made the arrests at a shop in Van Riebeeck Avenue, Edenvale.
A British American Tobacco (BAT) vehicle was also recovered.
The Edenvale SAPS’ acting spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Robbie Roberts, said the vehicle was reported as stolen last month in Kempton Park.
