Police were still searching for other stolen vehicles after a man linked to a robbery at a car dealership was arrested.
This after three vehicles were stolen from a car dealership in Pretoria North on Saturday morning.
Sinoville community policing forum (CPF) spokesperson Vernon Smith said four men entered the dealership and held an employee at gunpoint.
“The robbery occurred after 10:00 and an employee was left tied-up but unharmed while the four robbers made their getaway in the stolen vehicles,” said Smith.
Sinoville police spokesperson Mirna Von Benecke said a 45-year-old man was arrested in Mamelodi East later that day.
“A stolen Toyota Corolla was found in his possession. No further arrests have been reported,” she said.
Von Benecke said police were searching for the other stolen vehicles.
