Four arrested for robbery at bakery in Despatch


Members from the Port Elizabeth Flying Squad apprehended four suspected robbers on Wednesday, barely 24-hours after a robbery at a bakery in Despatch.

Police Spokesperson Captain Gerda Swart says members apprehended the foursome, between 23 and 39-years-old, at their homes in and around the Bethelsdorp area.

During the operations, two firearms were confiscated - a 38 special revolver and a replica gun.

Captain Swart says an additional charge of illegal possession of a firearm was added to the charge sheet of the 23-year-old suspect.

Police confiscated a Nissan bakkie believed to have been used in the commission of the robbery.

Police also recovered the safe that was stolen, some cash, cell phones and boxes containing cigarettes.

The four men are due to appear in the Uitenhage Magistrate's court on Friday on a charge of business robbery.
