The Sandringham police arrested four suspects who were involved in a house robbery and rape in River Park on 21 September.
A spokesperson for the police station, Captain Mohlaume Mamabolo said three armed suspects forcefully entered the River Park home where they found the 25-year-old female victim and her husband.
Pointing their firearms at the couple, they stole various household items and then took the female victim to a house in Alexandra.
