The suspects were found in possession of two firearms and several rounds of ammunition, numerous vehicle number plates, house breaking implements as well as suspected stolen property.
Follow-up information led the tracking and tracing team to Besters area where a bakkie which was reported hijacked in Nsuze in September 2023 was recovered.
