The Station Commander Brigadier Molatelo Maphoto hailed praises at his members in blue for doubling their efforts in closing the net on these suspects.
“I am very grateful that more boots on the ground are yielding positive results and the members are selflessly putting the safety of the community first by getting rid of bad apples within the community,” said Brigadier Maphoto.
All the suspects will appear before the Soshanguve Magistrate Court.
