KARIEGA \u2013 In a concerted effort to address the commission of serious and violent crimes in the Kamesh policing area, alert members of SAPS Kamesh immediately responded to information about a suspect who had allegedly robbed a person at gunpoint this morning.<\/p>\n
It is alleged that at about 08:37, the victim was approached by a cyclist while walking in McNaughton Avenue. The cyclist demanded cash and the victim\u2019s jacket. When the victim refused, the cyclist pointed him with a firearm and fired a shot into the ground. The complainant handed his jacket and the cash to the suspect. The suspect then cycled off and disappeared into a crowd of learners. <\/p>\n
The complainant immediately reported the robbery at the local police station. SAPS members started searching for the suspect and spotted him in Gazi Street. He was arrested and a 9mm pistol (serial number filed off) and 9mm rounds were found in his possession.<\/p>\n
The 32-year-old male suspect was detained on charges of possession of a prohibited firearm, illegal possession of ammunition and robbery with a firearm.<\/p>\n
The suspect is due to appear in the Kariega Magistrate\u2019s Court on Thursday, 24 February 2022 on the said charges.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
