EMPD members arrested three people last Monday in connection with the theft of goods from the metro\u2019s Germiston Waste Depot.<\/p>\n
The Germiston Waste Depot was robbed of items, including vehicle tyres, office furniture, fridges, microwaves and other valuable items, last Sunday.<\/p>
Upon further investigation, the EMPD uncovered that the suspects worked for a security company, which is also a registered service provider of the metro.<\/p>\n
The metro is currently studying the contract it holds with the service provider and has suspended all business with the company.<\/p>
Appropriate legal action will be taken against the company, without fear or favour.<\/p>\n
