Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Two people have been arrested in connection with a robbery at a Limpopo police station last year. This brings the number of arrests to 12.<\/p>\n

A group of heavily armed robbers stormed Malamulele police station in November 2021 and robbed it of firearms and ammunition.<\/p>\n

Popcru ‘enraged’ by attack on Limpopo police station, calls for better resourcing of rural cops<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson, Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo, said police received a tip-off that two more robbers, aged 32, were travelling in a minibus in Acornhoek, Mpumalanga.<\/p>\n

Mojapelo said:<\/p>\n

The suspects were found in possession of a pistol, two magazines and ammunition and were believed to be linked to numerous ATM bombings.<\/p>\n

They are expected to appear in the Malamulele Magistrate’s Court on Monday.<\/p>\n

In January, 10 people were arrested in Medinyeng village near Kgapane in Limpopo, and Dwarsloop outside Bushbuckridge in Mpumalanga, in connection with the robbery at the police station. They were allegedly planning to bomb an ATM in Mpumalanga.<\/p>\n

The robbers allegedly stormed the community service centre at the police station and robbed the officers on duty of their firearms. The officers were then locked in the back of a police van, while the gunmen stole R4 rifles, pump guns, pistols, and ammunition from the safe.<\/p>\n

The gunmen had also robbed a nearby business, said Mojapelo.<\/p>\n

Some of the suspects have been linked to several ATM bombings and armed robberies. This includes one at a petrol station in which a police officer was shot and wounded, added Mojapelo.<\/p>\n
