Seven suspects from Kwanobuhle, who allegedly went on a weekend crime spree in a yellow Mazda 323, are all behind bars.
Police spokesperson Colonel Priscilla Naidu says the suspects first struck on Saturday night at a garage in Durban Street in Rocklands.
She says five occupants were in the vehicle and three got out with a rifle and pistol, threatening petrol attendants.
The men stole cash, keys, a card swiping machine and the cellphones belonging to the employees.
Colonel Naidu says the suspects struck again a few hours later by stealing cash and an energy drink at a garage in Durban road.
She says police spotted their vehicle in Lower Drosdy Street in Kariega and back-up from SAPS Despatch was requested.
Members successfully arrested all seven suspects between the ages of 17 and 35 and confiscated a rifle and a pistol and the vehicle used in the commission of the crime.
Detectives are probing their alleged involvement in another business robbery that took place in Cuyler Street in Kariega on Friday night.
The suspects will appear in court soon.
