The arrests occurred on Thursday morning 8 January at approximately 05:40 when flying squad members pulled over a white Toyota Fortuner carrying three male occupants.
The operation followed recent housebreaking incidents in the area, which prompted the police’s intelligence team to gather information and track down the suspects.

While conducting the arrests, police were informed that another house had been broken into in Simon’s Town, potentially linking the suspects to multiple criminal incidents in the area.
