A 27-year-old male suspect has been arrested in connection with a house robbery and possession of suspected stolen property in Vredefort.
It is alleged that during the early hours of Thursday, 24 July 2025 at approximately 01:30, two males one known to the victim, approached the victim’s residence and knocked on the window. When the victim opened the door, the second suspect, who was unknown to the victim, produced a firearm. The suspects proceeded to steal a home theatre system and fled the scene.
Members of the Fezile Dabi Trio Task Team, Vredefort Detectives, and the Community Service Centre (CSC) acted swiftly on information regarding the suspects’ whereabouts. One suspect was successfully apprehended and taken into custody.
The stolen property was recovered, and an airgun believed to have been used during the robbery was also confiscated.
The suspect is expected to appear before the Vredefort Magistrate’s Court soon on charges of house robbery and possession of suspected stolen property.
