A 32-year-old woman was arrested by the Primrose police, last Friday, in connection with an armed robbery that took place in Malvern East in July.<\/p>\n
The incident was first reported to police by two female victims.<\/p>
\u201cThey told officers they were walking along Pandora Road when they were approached by a white Volkswagen Golf with three occupants, two men and a woman,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe occupants of the vehicle allegedly asked the women where they could exchange foreign currency in the area.\u201d<\/p>
Before they could answer, the suspects allegedly exited the vehicle, pointed firearms at the victims and ordered them to lie on the ground.<\/p>\n
Police launched an investigation and were able to arrest the female suspect and continue to search for the men allegedly involved.<\/p>\n
She was charged with armed robbery and held at the Primrose Police Station.<\/p>\n
She has since appeared in the Germiston Magistrate\u2019s Court, where her case was postponed for plea and trial.<\/p>\n
