WESTERN CAPE - The vigilance and quick response of members attached to the Western Cape Flying Squad and the K9 Unit led to the arrest of four male suspects and a female suspect soon after a robbery was perpetrated at the Du Noon Post Office in Milnerton this morning.

The members reacted on a radio broadcast regarding the robbery and searched the immediate vicinity for the getaway vehicle, which was subsequently spotted on the N1 freeway. The vehicle was pulled over close to the Jip de Jager off ramp and all five suspects were apprehended. Three unlicensed firearms, ammunition and an undisclosed amount of cash were confiscated. The suspects are due to make their court appearance in Bellville on Friday to face the charges against them.
