The arrests were made during a roadblock which saw police pulling over and inspecting vehicles.<\/p>
\u201cThe suspects, aged between 24 and 58 years old, were taken to hospital and blood was drawn before they were taken to the Primrose Police Station where they were formally charged,\u201d said communications officer for the Primrose police, Sgt Styles Maome.<\/p>\n
The accused appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court where some were released after paying admission of guilt fines, while others had their cases postponed for trial.<\/p>
