It is not yet clear if they robbed a family at gunpoint on Saturday, making off with cash and cell phones.

The police's Jay Naicker says they are still trying to establish whether the suspects can be linked to the incident.

Their guns will also be sent for ballistic testing to check whether were they used in other crimes.

"The suspects were nabbed a few hours afterwards in possession of the firearms in the Empangeni area," said Niacker.
