The National Commissioner of the South African Police Service (SAPS), General Fannie Masemola, said communities rallied together and informed the police of their whereabouts, and all four suspects are now in police custody. <\/p>\n
He added: \u201cTo those who shared the pictures of these suspects on social media, to all the journalists and media houses that played their watchdog role, we are indebted to you. This is what the SAPS can achieve when the whole country rallies behind our men and women in blue. We thank you, South Africa, for assisting us in stamping the authority of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n
Currently, SAPS wishes not to divulge where these suspects were found and arrested at this stage, as this may jeopardise investigations.<\/p>\n
