A video showing police flooding the motorway to arrest a fleeing house robber has been doing the rounds on social media.
According to reports, the police received a call about a house robbery in Honeydew. Police were told that two men had entered a home and stole jewellery, cellphones, and a Hyundai. Police then received a tip off that a Hyundai fitting the description of the stolen vehicle in Honeydew had been spotted on the N1 near the Garsfontein off-ramp.
The police then started their chase and even called in backup – a chopper. In the video, the suspect is seen abandoning the car and running into a nearby bush, but he was soon cornered and an arrest was made.
