LUCK ran out on five armed men who robbed a Chinese business in Wolmaransstad before police swooped on them.

The men were arrested after their gateway vehicle with Gauteng registration was cornered after a chase.

Captain Paul Ramaloko said: “The suspects allegedly pounced on a Chinese shop and robbed them. The police reacted swiftly after the suspects had no knowledge that the Operation Fiela was in the area.

“A chase ensued between the police and the suspects. The suspects allegedly started to shoot at the police randomly. The police retaliated and injured one suspect. They were later arrested and undisclosed amount of money was recovered from them. The police confiscated the vehicle with Gauteng registration numbers that was used during the crime,” he said.
