We would like to congratulate the Garsfontein police reservists for their success Thursday 9 July 2009. They captured three suspected robbers before they had time to do their “job” for the night!
It happened in Rubenstein street just after 19:00 when a suspect looking vehicle turned right in front of the reservist vehicle. They stopped the suspect vehicle and a man got out with something in his hands. when he saw that he was outgunned, he dropped a weapon into the car and gave up. The police found several weapons (serial numbers removed) and ammunition in the vehicle. It seems that the vehicle had false plates and the engine number has been removed as well.
They also recovered a bag full of tools used in both house and vehicle break inns.
In the vehicle they found a GPS with addresses already programmed for the area. It seems that this was a list of homes that thay were targeting for the evening.
Two other reservists also arrested 2 red light robbers (believe it was in Garsfontein) on Friday night.
