Eight suspects are expected to appear in the Pongola Magistrate’s Court on Monday for allegedly robbing a business in Golwayo on the far north of KwaZulu-Natal.

It is alleged that during the arrest, the suspects aged 28 and 38 years were also found smoking drugs in one of the homesteads in the area.

Provincial police spokesperson Thembeka Mbhele says all suspects face charges of robbery, unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition as well as possession of stolen property, possession and dealing in drugs.

“Information about the suspects was received which led the team to a homestead where the suspects were hiding. On arrival at the house two suspects were found smoking dagga outside the house. The suspects ran away and a chase ensued. Both were arrested not far from the house.”

Mbhele says, “A search inside the house was further conducted and six other suspects were found and arrested. Three pistols with their serial numbers filed off and ten live rounds of ammunition were recovered. All items that were stolen during the robbery were recovered.”
