On June 30, 2022, the TMPD tactical unit, along with other law enforcement personnel, responded to information concerning individuals who were preparing a cross-pavement robbery.
A C class Mercedes Benz vehicle was seen leaving the suspects’ home in Atteridgeville before the squad arrived, and the suspects’ house was located there. Four suspects were discovered as the officers approached the residence strategically.
Two military signal jammers, a gun, and many sets of licence plates were all found inside the home.
Additionally, a Suzuki Swift with manipulated vin numbers was found.
The four suspects were detained for conspiring to commit robbery, having an unlicensed weapon and ammunition, and having a vehicle that was possibly stolen.
Two of the suspects have connections to other Tshwane pavement robberies. More investigation will be done in this case.
Bravo to all participating teams.
Anyone with information on this crime should get in touch with their local South African Police Services (SAPS) or TMPD at 012 358 7095/6.
