Two robbers arrested in Mnandi
The owner of the small holding called Monitor Net which responded and apprehended two male suspects in co-operation with the owner.
Two alleged robbers are held at Olievenhoutbosch police station after Monitor Net, in co-operation with the owner of a smallholding in Mnandi, apprehended them.
Monitor Net spokesperson JP le Roux said the owner of a smallholding in Mnandi in Constantia Street was told by members of his staff that two suspicious men have entered the premises without authorisation.
The owner then called Monitor Net which apprehended the suspects in co-operation with the owner around 10:00 on Wednesday morning.
“They were armed with a fake firearm and we also found pepper spray on them,” Le Roux said.
“A wheelbarrow, building equipment and tools were stolen from the property.”
Olievenhoutbosch police responded and the robbers were arrested and taken to the station, Le Roux said.
Le Roux believed the men didn’t realise that they have been spotted by staff members.
Olievenhoutbosch police spokesperson Sergeant Pretty Mokadi confirmed the incident and said a case of theft was being investigated.
