"Two suspects entered the house after kicking the back door open.  The armed suspects demanded keys of vehicle and took cash and cellphones and fled. Police were notified," Swart said.

"PE police officials apprehended a suspect in the Kabega Park area and recovered the vehicle. The suspect was detained and will appear in the Uitenhage Magistrate's Court this week on a charge of house robbery," said Captain Swart.
