Officers from the Katlehong SAPS Crime Prevention Unit took to the streets on Wednesday for a stop-and-search operation.<\/p>\n
During the operation, five suspects were arrested.<\/p>
The accused were charged with various offences, including theft, assault with the intent to cause grievous bodily harm, armed robbery and malicious damage to property.<\/p>\n
One suspect was arrested on a charge of house robbery and kidnapping.<\/p>
All of the arrested suspects appeared in the Palm Ridge Magistrate\u2019s Court, where their cases were postponed for a number of different reasons.<\/p>\n
