buying have proof of where they bought their goods,\u201d said Sgt Styles Maome, communications officer for the Primrose police.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>This comes after three men, aged between 29 and 37 years, were arrested for possession of stolen goods.<\/p>\n<p>The arrest was made when officers were on patrol in the Makause informal settlement.<\/p><div class=\"stream-item stream-item-in-post stream-item-inline-post aligncenter\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cOfficers approached two men who were reportedly selling stolen goods.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe suspects were interrogated and they confessed to having broken into a shack and stolen a car battery, which they sold,\u201d explained Maome.<\/p>\n<p>The men voluntarily took police to the man who had bought the car battery and he was also arrested.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is with this arrest in mind that we warn our community that items they buy without a receipt could lead to trouble with the law,\u201d said Maome.<\/p>\n<p>All three suspects will appear in the Germiston Magistrates Court soon.<\/p>\n<p>Other articles you may be
