Four men were detained on a charge of possession of a stolen motor vehicle by Germiston Flying Squad police in the Tsietsi neighbourhood, which falls under Eden Park, on October 20.
While performing their duty as members patrolling the area of Tsietsi, they came across an incident of mob justice.
It was claimed that one of the four suspects, a 45-year-old man, was responsible for the recent robberies in the neighbourhood.
Germiston Flying Squad communication officer, Sergeant Ntombikayise Ngcobo, says when police took over the case and went to his home, he was searched, and a gun was discovered hidden in his underpants.
“It was also discovered that the gun had been stolen from Paarl. He was detained for having an illegal pistol. The arrested man will shortly appear in the magistrate’s court as the investigation progresses,” said Ntombikayise.
In addition to thanking the team, Lieutenant Colonel Kgole, the unit commander of the Germiston Flying Squad, issued a strong warning to criminals that the police will have a zero-tolerance policy in the fight against crime and to protect the safety of South African people.
