Five suspects, aged between 24 and 64, have been arrested following two unrelated armed robberies at post offices in the Free State.
On Wednesday, two male suspects entered the local post office in Selosesha, pointed a gun at the security guard inside the building and seized his pistol.
The two suspects took a substantial amount of pension money and fled the scene in a car with no registration numbers. The local police were alerted about the robbery and managed to locate the getaway vehicle in Thaba Nchu. The police seized money believed to have been stolen from the post office, two pistols with live ammunition, a bulletproof vest and the vehicle.
