JOHANNESBURG – Four suspects were arrested in Bedfordview on Thursday night in connection with thefts of high-end jewelry outside the hotel, apartments and conference venue, The Nicol.
It is understood that the original members of the Rolex band were arrested, but the police had not yet confirmed it.
The group is known to terrorize civilians across Johannesburg, committing crimes ranging from kidnapping to targeting residents at gunpoint.
There was a heavy police presence at The Nicol after what police called a long and comprehensive operation. The scene was blocked while several policemen stand guard.
Although the officers kept their lips tight, it is understood that two vehicles and two firearms were seized.
One of the vehicles was used to target the victims and another was hijacked earlier this month.
Eyewitness news saw two of the suspects being placed in the back of a police van, while the other two were immobilized on the ground with their faces covered.
The suspects were expected to be taken to the Bedfordview Police Station.
