The swift response by Strand and Lwandle police members led to the arrest of two suspects after they had committed a business robbery in Strand on Thursday (4 April). Strand police attended to a complaint of a business robbery in Wilhelmina Schaefer Street, where unknown suspects plundered a superette, looting it of cigarettes, vape products, sweets and an undisclosed amount of cash before fleeing the scene in a getaway vehicle. The car was spotted by police officers and a high-speed chase ensued. The vehicle came to a halt when it collided with another. The suspects jumped from the vehicle and attempted to evade arrest, but were successfully chased down by the officers. Two adult male suspects were arrested and a 9 mm pistol and some of the stolen items recovered. The suspects faced charges of business robbery, illegal possession of a firearm and possession of stolen property. Once charged they were due to appear in Strand Magistrates’ Court on the mentioned charges.
