Port Elizabeth police have arrested five suspects they suspect were planning to rob a fast food outlet in Heugh Road, Walmer.

Police spokesperson, captain Stanley Jarvis, says the arrests were made on Thursday night following a tip-off.

He says police seized a fire-arm as well as a mini-bus which had been hijacked.

Earlier this week, a robbery gang who shot and killed a man during a hijacking in Zwide, later robbed to petrol stations in the Walmer area.

Jarvis says police will investigate any possible links between the two incidents.
