Officers recovered firearms, ammunition, and bullet proof vests.
“The suspects, who claimed to be from Delft in Cape Town, were arrested and investigations into their possible mission are underway. “
“With Sydenham known for persistent drug turf wars, police believe that the suspects, who booked into the lodge from 6 December and were to check out on Monday, 11 December 2023, could have been in the area to execute a hit.
After processing, the suspects will be presented before court.”
