The Detective\/Constable was on his lunch break when he received information on a business robbery in progress where four suspects with a firearm have robbed a hardware store.

Preliminary investigations on the scene revealed that the arrested suspect has a warrant of arrest issued for three cash-in-transit robberies that occurred in Akasia (2010), Soshanguve and Eersterust (2017), and that he was on the top five list of Gauteng’s most wasted suspects.<\/P>

The Provincial Commissioner of Gauteng, Lieutenant General Elias Mawela has commended the member’s bravery for going after business robbers on his own. “Though the Detective \/Constable had called for back-up as per procedure, his instinct and quick action without any care for his own safety, has resulted in the arrest of one of our most wanted suspects,” commended Lt Gen Mawela.<\/P>
