Two suspects aged 30 and 42 are expected to appear in the Barkley West Magistrate Court on Friday in connection with an armed robbery at the Windsorton police station on the 2nd of October.
According to the Hawks, four men attacked and robbed police officers who were on duty and fled with two R5 rifles, four 9mm pistols and ammunition.
It later transpired that the same group committed another armed robbery at a BP garage immediately thereafter in Virginia where one victim was wounded after several people were robbed of their personal items.
The two suspects were arrested on Wednesday in the Free State and Gauteng provinces respectively following an intensive investigation by the Hawk's Serious Organised Investigation Unit.
The team managed to recover four pistols - one illegal handgun and the three official firearms - the two stolen R5 rifles and a suspected stolen vehicle.
The search for the remaining suspects and the outstanding firearm continues.
