South Africa is one of the countries which has a higher crime rate when compared to other African countries, and this made possible by the large influx of foreigners into the country as many of them are drug and ammunition traffickers, but none of that matters as the SAps are always on point to arrest them.
Yesterday the South African police services, released an official statement about the arrest of 12 alleged foreigners who were apprehended in Benoni just outside of Johannesburg. This happened just some couple of days after the arrest of another gang which was heavily armed in Sebokeng.
Now, according to the reports, Those suspects planned a really good heist to hijack a transport company, which was delivering copper across the country. Johannesburg Flying Squad and K9 Unit proceeded to the scene where they were met with gunshots from about twelve armed men. However those 12 men were arrested after the cops won a shootout against them
However, according to the preliminary investigation as it breaks down the arrest, 14 men arrived in a German sedan and 3 trucks(Horses) and used those trucks as hostages, where they held the securities at Gunpoint. The suspects then hooked the trailers which were filled with copper , but it seems like they were slow as the cops arrived while they were still busy, leading into a shootout.
It appears that the getaway driver and the route directors manage to get away with the sedan as the cops only managed to arrest 12 instead of 14 and seized 5 unregistered firearms.
South Africans were so jubilant to hear a rocketing arrest of about 12 criminals at once. They went to suggest that the cops should send all those foreigners to their home countries as they believe that Zimbabweans are the masterminds of stealing coppers.
Opinion
In my point of view, I think that the cops are doing a great job, the only problem is that those criminals will later be released on bail. However I think that this heist was arranged by the South Africans who were working hand in hand with foreigners.
