THREE SANDF SOLDIERS ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY
Three SA National Defence Force (SANDF) soldiers were arrested for allegedly robbing a petrol station manager of over R100,000 in Lenasia on Monday, Soweto police said on Tuesday.
The 26-year-old man was on his way to the bank with cash and cheques to the value of R121,500 when he was stopped by five soldiers who accused him of being a drug dealer, said Sergeant Richard Munyai.
They told him they were taking him to the police station.
Two of the soldiers took his car while he was made to accompany the other three in their car.
They drove to an open veld where he was beaten with the butt of a firearm. He was then tied to his car's steering wheel. The five fled with the cash and cheques.
Once he freed himself the man went to the Lenasia military base where he was able to identify three of his alleged attackers who were arrested.
The money and cheques were not recovered.
