Shortly after 7 am on Sunday, we received a panic signal from a shop in Oceanview for an armed robbery in progress. The team on the ground was dispatched, and it was reported that the suspect had fled on arrival.
Our team would not give up that easily, and after getting a description of the suspect, we started the search. Not long before, our response officer spotted a suspect matching the description in St Francis Street, and he called for backup.
Our response officer and SAPS arrived after being notified, and the suspect was arrested with a BB gun still in his possession. The suspect was arrested and taken to the police station for further investigation.
