#JMPD officers were conducting patrols along Fox & Berea Road in Marshalltown, near Jewel City when they heard gunshots & observed members of the public running into the Jewel City complex. Officers noticed three males walking along Berea Road towards Commissioner Street & approached them as they were getting into a white Quantum. Officers instructed the occupants to exit the vehicle and lie down. One occupant fled on foot, while eight occupants were apprehended & secured. A search of the suspects resulted in the recovery of three firearms with their serial numbers filed off as well as ammunition. Members of the public then approached officers & alleged that they had been robbed of their belongings by occupants of the Quantum. A further search led to the recovery of three cellphones, which were positively identified by the victims as their property. Further investigation established that the suspects were allegedly linked to a business robbery at Mr Price in Jewel City. The suspects were arrested for possession of unlicensed firearms & live ammunition as well as possession of suspected stolen property. The suspects were also reportedly linked to other pending cases, including murder cases in Johannesburg Central & Durban. #BuyaMthethoManjeNamhlanje #SaferJoburg #JoburgRoadSafety
