Newly trained constables are hitting the ground running

GAUTENG – On Tuesday, two of the newly trained constables based at SAPS Randfontein arrested a suspect at a local taxi rank in Mohlakeng and recovered suspected stolen property found in his possession. The members were reportedly conducting foot patrols at Umphakati Mall in Mohlakeng when they noticed a man acting suspiciously near the taxi rank. A search led the constables to recover a knife and a wallet containing various cards including bank cards belonging to two different persons. The constables also found a lay-by receipt from a retail store containing the personal details of another person. This person was immediately contacted who then indicated to the constables that she opened a case at Randfontein police station after she was robbed on Friday. The suspect was subsequently arrested and expected to appear before the Randfontein Magistrates’ court.
