CAPE TOWN - Police say that more arrests could be made in connection with the torching of two trains at Cape Town station.Metrorail regional manager Richard Walker said: “Because of the quick thinking and alertness of our security team, as well as SA Police Service officers who were at the station on Monday, the suspect was arrested and taken in for questioning, and ultimately charged.”
Walker said that police need to try and find out what the motive is behind the attacks, as he believes it’s not related to frustrations over the slow service.In 2018, Prasa told Parliament that it suffered losses in the region of R636 million due to train fires over the last three-and-a-half years.
