recently.<br \/>\n\u201cThis happened after three men entered a shop pretending to buy something,\u201d said Const Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<br \/>\n\u201cThe shop assistant opened the door and when the men were inside, they pointed a firearm at the shop assistant and owner.<br \/>\n\u201cThe shop owner tried to hide but they found him, assaulted him, and demanded money.\u201d<br \/>\nMaome said the men took R1 400 and stole airtime worth R1 000 and ran away.<br \/>\n\u201cThe community members chased the suspects and called the police,\u201d added Maome.<br \/>\n\u201cThis is an indication that even the community is fed up with the crime in Primrose.<br \/>\n\u201cWhen the suspects realised that the police were also chasing them, they tried to hide in the bushes near Delport informal settlement.\u201d<br \/>\nMembers of the Germiston flying squad managed to find the men and arrested two of them.<br \/>\n\u201cThe third suspect is still on the run and we would like to encourage anyone with information to assist the police in locating his whereabouts,\u201d said Maome.<br \/>\nThe police suspect one of the men in dreadlocks is linked to other crime incidents in the area.<br \/>\nFurther investigations are still underway.<br \/>\n\u201cThe management of the Primrose police would like to thank all the role players who contributed in making the arrests,\u201d said Maome.<br \/>\nThe men will appear at the Germiston Magistrates Court soon.<br \/>\n\u001a<\/p>\n<div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post
