Through proactive policing, SAPS members brought two suspects to book who were found in possession of a large sum of cash, dangerous weapon, house breaking implements and presumed stolen property.
On Friday 25 April 2025 at around 04:45, members attached to Kensington SAPS were busy with patrols in hotspot areas in Kensington when they spotted two suspicious unknown males caring backpacks on their shoulders in Voortrekker Road, towards 18th Avenue, Kensington. The members approached the suspects and searched them. During the search they found a substantial amount of cash to the value of R 358 000.00, a knife as well as wire cutters, cellular telephones and screwdrivers in their possession.
The suspects aged 34 and 36, were unable to give a satisfactory explanation or account of the money and were detained at Kensington SAPS.
They will appear in the Cape Town Magistrates’ court on Tuesday, 29 April 2025 on the mentioned charges.
