Nine people were arrested on a charge of possession of explosives, last Sunday, by members of the Germiston SAPS.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice members noticed a silver Hyundai Tucson on Main Reef Road in Knights with lots of occupants which looked suspicious to them.<\/p>
\u201cThe members called for back-up while following the car,\u201d said Capt Andr\u00e9 de Jager, Ekurhuleni West Cluster SAPS spokesman.<\/p>\n
As back-up arrived they ordered the driver of the vehicle to stop and asked the occupants to get out of the car.<\/p>
\u201cNine people climbed out of the vehicle and the members searched them.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter they were searched the police focused on the car,\u201d said de Jager.<\/p>\n
Inside the car the members found six round rolls of explosives and cord.<\/p>\n
