Sergeant Bhekumuzi Dlamini of the Montclair police station said the suspects were armed with firearms when they stormed the house and demanded cellphones and valuables from the victims.
“Eight cellphones, a jacket and pair of sandals were taken. The suspects fled the scene shortly afterward. Learners whose cellphones were not taken managed to report the incident at the Montclair police station.
“We utilised our police intelligence resources to track down the suspects. The investigation led officers to a home in Umlazi where the arrested suspect was found wearing a jacket that had been stolen from the learners. He was charged for house robbery,” said Dlamini.
Police are still searching for the two remaining suspects.
The suspect appeared at the Durban Magistrate’s Court on July 8. The matter was adjourned to next week for the accused to apply for bail.
