HENDRINA - Two more suspects were arrested after they were found hiding in the ceiling of the safe house.  Three rifles, three vehicles, including a Mercedes Benz C class (reported hijacked in Aksia last month), a Golf 6 GTI (reported hijacked in Soshanguve last month) and a Ford Ranger (reported stolen in Krugersdorp in 2021 August), explosives and large quantities of ammunition were recovered from the scene. The fourth vehicle, a Mercedes CLA is not positive but will be seized for being used in a commission of a crime as well as a Toyota Etios.
