Two BB gun-wielding men, travelling on a blue and white Suzuki GSXR motorbike, were arrested yesterday shortly after they are believed to have robbed four pedestrians of their belongings.
According to Frederick Koen of NoJack Vehicle Tracking, the Benoni CPF issued an alert on the community radio network shortly after 10:00 that day after the first robbery on Ewing Street, Rynfield.“It is alleged they stopped next to the first victim, a pedestrian, demanding personal belongings, including cellphones, bank cards and cash.”The crime spree continued.
A second pedestrian was robbed, and then, on Hanekam Street, the suspects robbed another two victims.A chase ensued on Malherbe Street towards Pretoria Road, where members of the NoJack Anti-Hijacking Unit, Legendary Guardians Exclusive Protection and the SAPS Gauteng Drone Unit foiled their escape towards the N12.
“After a search by Benoni Flying Squad members, they found the men in possession of two BB guns and personal belongings of the victims,” said Archie Mouyis of the AfriForum Benoni branch.“This is a testament to how swift action taken by committed community members can lead to the criminals being brought to book,” said Koen.
“Other key role players included the private security companies Badboyz, PHP, AAA, Blackhawk and Supercops.”Also Read: Woman killed in shooting, three men arrested
