🚔 FOUR SUSPECTS ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY AND KIDNAPPING LINKED TO FACEBOOK MARKETPLACE SCAM 🚔

Rietgat SAPS has arrested four suspects, aged between 18 and 25, in connection with a robbery and kidnapping case linked to an alleged online scam in Soshanguve.

According to police, the victim responded to a Facebook Marketplace advertisement offering mag rims for sale at R3,500. After communicating with the alleged seller, the victim was directed to a location in Block PP1, Soshanguve, to complete the transaction.

Upon arrival, the victim was approached by a young man who claimed to be connected to the seller and directed them to a second location nearby.

When they arrived at the second location, the suspect exited the vehicle, allegedly to contact the seller. Moments later, an armed suspect approached the vehicle and ordered the victim into the back seat. Three additional suspects then joined and took control of the situation.

Following investigations, SAPS Rietgat successfully arrested four suspects linked to the robbery and kidnapping.

Police have warned members of the public to exercise caution when arranging meetings with online sellers and buyers.
