Benoni K9 unit members arrest three suspects in Rondevlei (Delmas) for possession of a hijacked vehicle, unlicensed firearms and ammunition

On Wednesday, 08 June 2022 members of the Benoni K9 unit arrested three suspects, aged between 25 and 32 years old, in Rondevlei (Delmas) for possession of a hijacked vehicle, unlicensed firearms, and ammunition.

The SAPS members were reportedly following up on information regarding suspects making their way to Gauteng from Mpumalanga with a hijacked vehicle. Vigilance led the members to detect the suspects on the N12 and R42 roads and attempted to stop the suspects’ vehicles; a car chase ensued.

The three suspects later abandoned their vehicle and fled on foot into the bushes, but were swiftly apprehended by the members. A search resulted in the recovery of three unlicensed firearms and ammunition.

Further investigation revealed that the suspects’ vehicle is positively linked to a carjacking case.

The suspects are expected to appear in the Delmas Magistrates’ court soon.
