Five men have been arrested for allegedly robbing a cellphone store in Cape Town on Saturday, Western Cape police said.<\/p>\n
“Flying Squad members patrolling in the City of Cape Town made a quick arrest after receiving information about a business robbery which took place in a cellphone store in Adderley Street,” said Colonel Tembinkosi Kinana.<\/p>\n
He said the group, aged between 21 to 37, had fled after the robbery but were found in Khayelitsha later on Saturday.<\/p>\n
“Later in the day … five male suspects were found at a house in Ilitha Park at Khayelitsha where they are alleged to have been busy counting cellphones and iPads they robbed from the shop.<\/p>\n
“During the arrest, police confiscated about 86 new cellphones with iPads in possession of the suspects.”<\/p>\n
“Police are investigating a case of business robbery and will also look at the possibility that the arrested suspects might be linked to other similar incidents of robberies in the Western Province,” said Kinana.<\/p>\n
The men would appear in court soon.<\/p>\n
