Police confirm Limpopo road-spiking gang linked to N4 armed robberies
The suspects targeted motorists along the N1 and R101 roads between Pretoria and Polokwane. They were arrested along the N1 south near Ysterberg on Monday (September 6).
The two suspects who were arrested in connection with the recent spate of road-spike robbery incidents in Limpopo, have been linked to armed robberies committed in Gauteng.
The men were arrested earlier this week during a joint operation conducted by the Mokopane Crime Prevention Unit, aided by the Modimolle K9 and Mokopane Crime Intelligence units, various detectives and members of the private sector.
It is alleged a group of four men was spotted along the N1 south between Ysterberg and the Sebetiela toll plaza. The teams were activated and two of the four men were arrested and a 9mm pistol and ammunition as well as welded spikes were confiscated. Two men are still at large.
