WESTERN CAPE - Four suspects were arrested by Paarl SAPS and a security company in the Central Business District moments after a jewellery store in Lady Grey Street was robbed of an undisclosed amount of cellular telephones and jewellery.

On Tuesday, 14 May 2024 at about 09:30, the armed suspects entered the premises, threatened the staff, and locked them in a room. The suspects fled the scene with a consignment of jewellery and valuables. One of the suspects was arrested by security personnel in Van Der Lingen Street, and in the process recovered some of the stolen items.

Three other suspects were pursued by members of Paarl SAPS and were arrested in the Paarl East when they were found in possession of an undisclosed amount of jewellery.

Once charged the suspects are expected to make a court appearance in the Paarl Magistrates court on a charge of robbery.
