FIVE men who were photographed lying face down on their stomachs in the road in Margate yesterday afternoon were detained on suspicion of theft of a vehicle.
Police spokesman Gerald Mfeka confirmed that the men were not linked to the attempted robbery of a bank as reported on a local website and social media and Whatsapp groups.
Capt Mfeka said that Public Order Police (POP) officers had in fact stopped and searched the men as they thought they could be involved in the taxi violence which flared up earlier in the day.
