ONE SUSPECT WAS ARRESTED AND EXPLOSIVES RECOVERED

Daveyton_ On Sunday 10 July 2022 in Daveyton area, the Ekurhuleni Metro Police Department (EMPD) Etwatwa Members assisted by the EMPD Equestrian Unit, nabbed one Mozambican suspect 32 years of age for possession of explosives.

At about 09:10 the EMPD Etwatwa Precinct received a tip-off from a reliable source about a group of males who will be carrying a black Adidas bag containing explosives, at the Engen Garage parking lot. Without any delay, the officers proceeded to the Engen Garage at corner Eiselen and Thlakwana Street.

When the officers arrived, three suspects matched the description given by the whistle-blower. When the three suspects saw the officers, they began to flee the scene by running into a neighbouring taxi rank. However, one suspect with a black Adidas bag was apprehended by the officers.

Upon searching the suspect and the bag he was carrying, officers recovered 40x blasting innopak 32 Mb cartridges and 44 shock tube detonators found concealed in the bag. The suspect was arrested and detained at Daveyton Police Station for illegal possession of explosives.
