The Ivory Park SAPS arrested four of five suspects aged between 28 and 42 years after they had allegedly committed a business robbery.
The five men allegedly entered one of the foreign national spaza shops in Ivory Park, Extension 2 on Tuesday evening and threatened the employees with firearms and took an undisclosed amount of cash and airtime.
“They allegedly fled the scene in a Toyota quantum. The driver of the Quantum was arrested yesterday in the early hours of the morning at Kanana Informal Settlement next to Rabie Ridge. Another suspect was arrested in Ivory Park, Extension 2 and the other two accomplices were caught in Alexandra,” said by the Ivory Park SAPS communication officer, Warrant Officer Neldah Sekgobela.
