Officers also recovered a hijacked VW Polo, as well as a 9mm pistol with the serial numbers filed off.<\/p>\n
The arrests came after a man was waved down by two men and a woman, who were known to him, last Saturday at 11am, who asked him for a lift to Katlehong.<\/p>
\u201cThe driver of the Polo obliged and was shocked when one of the men pointed a firearm at him and took his VW Polo by force.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was jettisoned from his vehicle at the entrance to Katlehong near Huntersfield Stadium,\u201d said Lieut-Col Wilfred Kgasago, spokesman for the EMPD.<\/p>\n Information subsequently gathered led to the arrest of the six suspects, who included a 40-year-old SAPS member found in possession of the hijacked vehicle at his home in Protea Glen.<\/p>\n \u201cThree suspects were rounded up in Katlehong and a 9mm pistol with the serial numbers filed off was recovered, while the other two suspects were apprehended in Palm Ridge,\u201d said Kgasago.<\/p>\n The five suspects, all in their 30s, nabbed in Katlehong and Palm Ridge, respectively claimed that the hijacked VW Polo was bought from them by the arrested SAPS member for R5 000.<\/p>\n They were all charged at the Germiston Police Station with possession of a hijacked vehicle and possession of an unlicensed firearm and ammunition.<\/p>\n They are expected to appear in the Germiston Magistrates Court soon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Other articles you may be interested in:<\/p>\n Be careful of this man says mother<\/a><\/p>\n Firearm recovered, alleged thief nabbed<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"The](\"https:\/\/germistoncitynews.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2016\/02\/09GCNCRIMESIXMH2_22596.jpg\")
