To ensure that offenders are brought to book, Somerset West police members acted on information when they were approached by members of the community and informed of a suspicious Red Golf 6 with five occupants who wanted to commit a robbery at the Somerset Mall.
These five suspects were arrested yesterday, Wednesday, 1 November 2017, for being in possession of police uniforms. None of the suspects are employed by the South African Police Service.
The Station Commander of Somerset West SAPS, Colonel Mary Ann Williams, commended the members for the outstanding arrests, stating that many cases of robbery were being reported being committed by men wearing police uniform.
