Gauteng business robbed of tyres worth R5m

“The suspects were nabbed at different locations around Gauteng between February 22 and 24,” said Masondo, adding that the Benoni company was robbed on February 12.

“A criminal case was opened and a team of law-enforcement agencies, including police's crime intelligence, was assembled to hunt for the suspects.

“Police received a tip-off on the syndicate. The team made use of the information and traced the suspects who were arrested and the stolen tyres and other stolen goods were recovered.”

Masondo said more arrests were imminent.
