A suspect linked to the robbery of Gauteng deputy provincial police commissioner Maj-Gen Tommy Mthombeni was arrested on Friday after a high-speed chase through Johannesburg.
“He was arrested on the M1 South, Joe Slovo Drive. The team comprised members from crime Intelligence, the provincial cold case unit, Johannesburg Metro K9 unit, Vision Tactical SIU and Tracker Connect. The vehicle, which belongs to his girlfriend, has been seized as it was used during the commission of a crime,” Muridili said on Saturday.
“On Thursday about 11am, a senior manager from Gauteng provincial office was robbed at gunpoint. The senior manager was running errands with a friend in Midrand and was not in uniform. The suspects fled the scene with his private firearm and personal belongings,” Muridili said. “The 39-year-old suspect is currently on parole for robbery committed in Sandringham in 2007. He was released from prison in 2018.”
The suspect is set to appear in court on Monday. The investigating team is searching for his two alleged accomplices.
