On May 17, JMPD K9 Unit officers received a complaint of a robbery at the corner of 2nd Street and Johannesburg Road in La Rochelle.
According to JMPD spokesperson Xolani Fihla, on arrival officers were notified of a Nigerian male who was robbing people in the area. Officers searched and found him hiding among homeless people sleeping on 2nd Street. The male was searched and officers found a magazine containing 15 rounds of live ammunition in his possession.
