Eldorado Park
By Lerato Mpembe
On Saturday evening, Johannesburg Metropolitan Police Department (JMPD) officers arrested seven heavily armed suspects in Eldorado Park, Region G. The officers were conducting routine patrols when they received information about a silver Toyota Avanza linked to recent armed robberies in the area. They located the vehicle at the intersection of Golden Highway and Union Avenue.
Upon searching the vehicle, officers discovered five unlicensed firearms, three live rounds of ammunition, and two knives. Additional items recovered included wallets containing bank cards, three cell phones (Apple, Samsung, and Huawei), a pair of scissors, a school bag, and a hookah pipe. The suspects face charges of armed robbery, possession of unlicensed firearms, and possession of a stolen motor vehicle.
JMPD Chief of Police, Patrick Jaca, praised the operation, stating, “This successful operation is a testament to the dedication and vigilance of our officers and the invaluable partnership we have with the community. We are sending a clear message that criminal activity will not be tolerated in Johannesburg. We will continue to work tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of our residents, and we commend the officers involved for their bravery and professionalism.”
All seven male suspects were detained at Eldorado Park SAPS, and the stolen vehicle was seized and booked at SAPS Lenasia.
