Stellenbosch – The swift response from Stellenbosch police was no match for four armed suspects who were arrested shortly after robbing a convenient store at a petrol filling station in Bird Street Stellenbosch late Wednesday night.

“The suspects held the staff of the business at gunpoint and fled the scene with cash in a gold Toyota Avanza,” said police spokesperson, Lieutenant Colonel Andrè Traut.

“The SAPS were quick to respond to the incident and following a high speed pursuit, the getaway vehicle was stopped in Somerset West.”

“One of the suspects was identified as a police officer stationed at Hout Bay police station. Once charged, the suspects are due to make a court appearance in Stellenbosch,” added Lieutenant Colonel Traut .

Western Cape SAPS Provincial Commissioner, Lt Gen KE Jula, praised the Stellenbosch members for their vigilance and speedy response.
