Brighton Beach Detectives assisted by the Provincial Organised Crime Investigations (Narcotics), Crime Intelligence and Metro police carried out an intelligence driven operation night at 22:00.

The team was searching for suspects that were wanted for robbery cases that were committed in the Brighton Beach area. They proceeded to Reservoir Hills where two men aged 19 and 25 were found on the premises and were placed under arrest. Two firearms and a vehicle suspected to be used in the commission of the crime was seized by police.

The two suspects are linked to two cases of robbery that occurred in the Brighton Beach policing area last month and this month. It is alleged that two people were robbed of their cellphones and belongings. The suspects will be profiled to check if they are linked to other robbery cases committed in the province. They are expected to appear before the Durban Magistrates Court tomorrow on charges of robbery.
