During a routine patrol in Beaconsfield Avenue CPF patrollers nabbed two men allegedly in a near-by yard.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe patrollers headed to the home to investigate, after receiving a complaint from a resident, it is there they allegedly found the two men,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>
It is alleged that one of the accused pointed a firearm at the approaching patrollers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe patrollers were able to overpower the accused and arrested them,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>
In addition to the firearm, which was discovered to be unlicensed, the patrollers found a bag containing two cellphones, two watches, two wallets and a Taiwanese passport.<\/p>\n
The men were handed over to the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
Officers later linked the suspects to a case of armed robbery in Bedfordview.<\/p>\n
Acting station commander for the Primrose Police Station Lieut-Col Albertina Vesi thanked the community patrollers for their assistance in this case.<\/p>\n
The men, aged 23 and 29 respectively, appeared in the Germiston Magistrates Court, where the case has been postponed for further investigation.<\/p>\n
The suspects remain in custody.<\/p>\n
