The station nabbed these suspects for the commission of inter alia, pointing of firearm, housebreaking, reckless and negligent driving, shoplifting and theft, rape, malicious damage to property, theft, armed robbery, possession of stolen motor vehicle, arson, house robbery, possession of hijacked motor vehicle, possession of drugs, drug dealing, possession of stolen property, contravention of protection order, assault GBH, theft of motor vehicle and possession of unlicensed firearm.
The Station Commander, Colonel Stephina Nkosi commended the members and community alike for their dedication and camaraderie. “I am very grateful to have a team that is community driven and always ready to stand in the front line for the protection of the community we serve. I am also equally impressed by the information flow from the community to us, it really proves that our community is willing to get rid of crime while working closely with us as the police,” said Colonel Nkosi.
All the arrested suspects will appear at the Soshanguve Magistrate Court.
