WESTERN CAPE. – Four suspects were taken into custody on Saturday morning following a rooftop robbery on Simonstad's main road. The suspects allegedly robbed victims of their cellphones and cash while using a firearm that was later described as a so-called blank (blank) firearm.
According to Mach 1 Security, a passerby spotted the rooftop robbery and immediately called the security company. Response officers acted together with Fidelity ADT Security and the Simonstad Central Neighbourhood Watch and arrested the first two suspects at the scene. Information then indicated that the other two suspects had fled in the direction of Dido Valley. Mach 1 officers Konke and Themba traced them in that area and also took them into custody.
All four suspects were handed over to police according to Mach 1 Security. The police's further action and the nature of the charges were not set out in the security company's statement.
