Port Elizabeth police have arrested a 40-year old man following the brutal rapes of five minor girls in Motherwell.
Police spokesperson, Warrant Officer Dumile Gwavu says the man was arrested on Tuesday at a police station after he was brought in by angry community members from Kamvelihle.

He says after the incident, which allegedly took place in September the suspect let the girls go.
The incident was reported over the weekend after police received a complaint from a parent.
