A manhunt by the Kagiso Police paid off when they arrested one of the men implicated in a business robbery.
Captain Solomon Sibiya, Kagiso Police spokesperson said a 31-year-old man will be appearing in the Kagiso Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday, 30 September for allegedly being involved in a business robbery that took place on Saturday, 26 September in Tshepisong.
One of the victims of the robbery reported the case to the Kagiso Police and told them that at about 2am that day, four intruders gained entry to his shop, two of them armed with a firearm.
He and his brother were asleep at the back of the shop when this happened. Once inside the robbers demanded cash at gunpoint. They then made off with an undisclosed amount of cash, a variety of cigarette cartons, cosmetics, a plasma TV and three cellphones.
Kagiso Police launched a manhunt for the four suspects, and got a tip-off on Tuesday afternoon, 29 September on one of the suspects’ whereabouts. He was cornered and eventually apprehended,” explained Sibiya.
