Three suspects were arrested in the early hours of Wednesday morning, in connection with the bombing of the Go George bus in Pacaltsdorp earlier this month.

The suspects were arrested at their homes in Pacaltsdorp.

Southern Cape police spokesperson Sergeant Chris Spies confirmed the arrests and said the suspects are expected to appear in the George Magistrate’s Court today.

The bus was travelling down Protea Road exiting New Dawn Park to take commuters to work when two petrol bombs hit the bus on March 1.

One of the bombs was thrown through a window on the driver’s side in the back section of the bus and ended up in the middle of the aisle.

Eleven people were hospitalised with moderate to serious burns as a result.
