As a Marathon informal settlement business owner was opening his tuck shop last Thursday he discovered a window had been broken.
Upon further inspection of the shop he discovered he had been robbed.
“The business owner claimed that a sewing machine, scissors, cotton, needles, clothes and food to the value of R35 000 had been taken in the robbery,” said the communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.
He opened a case at the Primrose Police Station.
“Officers were able to trace and arrest two suspects for the crime,” said Maome.
The men, aged 26 and 30 years old respectively, were held at the station pending their appearance in the Germiston Magistrate’s Court.
Their case has been postponed for plea and trial.
