Two men have been arrested in Pretoria for allegedly being in possession of stolen property after an alleged robbery took place in Midrand on Friday.
According to the Intelligence Bureau SA, the men were involved in an alleged armed robbery in San Ridge Square, Midrand Centre security car guards and other citizens smashed the windows of their getaway car upon escaping.
Lyttelton police spokesperson Captain Dave Miller said Tshwane police became involved when a radio message was sent to SAPS officers to be on the lookout for the suspected vehicle heading to Pretoria.
“The information we received was that the vehicle was used in an armed robbery and it had multiple smashed windows.”
Miller said Lyttleton SAPS members were travelling on Nellmapius Drive in Centurion towards Botha Avenue, when they noticed the vehicle.
“The police members noticed the vehicle driving with a smashed front windscreen. When it passed, we noticed the back windscreen was also smashed,” he said.
He said the police suspected that the car was the same vehicle involved in the alleged robberies in Midrand.
Police and a private security company followed the vehicle.
“The car was pulled over and we apprehended the two suspects inside the vehicle.”
“The men will be charged with possession of stolen bank cards, while we are also investigating the possibility of linking them to the incident that occurred in Midrand.”
