press release

Crimes committed by using firearms remain a priority for the SA Police in Motherwell Cluster, Nelson Mandela Bay. This morning, shortly after 09:00, four suspects armed with fire arms robbed the Fresh Produce Market in Markman industrial zone of a substantial amount of cash.

After alarm was made by the security, the four suspects which attempted to flee making use of a jikeleza taxi parked inside the premises, a Silver VW Golf, found themselves blocked in at the main gates. The four then fled on foot by scaling the gates and evading capture by the security guards. They fled into a bushy area close by, and three of them were arrested shortly thereafter by Swartkops police attending to the robbery. The fourth suspect is still at large.
