Three arrested for Rooihuiskraal robbery
Police have launched a manhunt for a suspect involved in the robbery of a Food Lover’s Market store in Centurion on Wednesday.
Three suspects were arrested while the fourth managed to flee.
Gauteng police spokesperson Mathapelo Peters says officers spotted several men running towards a minibus.
The men were subsequently found with housebreaking equipment and plastic bags containing food.
A G4S cash box was also found in their possession.
“As soon as the members realised that they were onto a possible business robbery, a vehicle was dispatched to the nearby Food Lover’s Market where police found security guards tied up, thus confirming the suspicion of a business robbery,” says Peters.
The suspects are expected to appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court on Thursday.
