NELSPRUIT – Four suspects, aged between 22 and 43, are expected to appear before the Witbank Magistrate’s Court, today, on charges of armed robbery, after they were arrested yesterday, Thursday, 16 April 2020.
The four were part of a group of five heavily armed men who reportedly stormed into two Filling Stations in two separate incidents.
The Provincial Commissioner of the police in Mpumalanga, Lieutenant General Mondli Zuma has applauded members of the public as well as the police for the concerted efforts that led to the arrest of the suspects.
The arrest is part of the police’s efforts to remove those who are terrorising the community and they (police) cannot rule out the possibility that these suspects could be linked to other robbery cases around Witbank.
