THREE suspects from Lesotho aged between 21 and 30 will appear in Stilfontein Magistrate’s Court on business robbery. North West police spokesperson, Col Sabata Mokgwabone said the suspects were arrested by the Klerksdorp Cluster Crime Prevention Team on Tuesday.

“The suspects were allegedly arrested in Orkney and Khuma respectively. They allegedly committed a business robbery in Khuma location, near Stilfontein on Sunday. The suspects allegedly robbed a local tavern of an undisclosed amount of cash at gunpoint,” he said.

Meanwhile a 52 year-old man was expected to appear in Stilfontein Magistrate’s Court this week for being in possession of illegal firearm and ammunition. Mokgwabone said the police received a tip-off from one of the community members.

“The suspect was allegedly walking in the streets while the police pounced on him. He was allegedly stopped and searched. A revolver firearm and five live ammunitions were found in his possession. He was arrested after he failed to produce legal documents of the firearm,” he said.
