A 20-year-old man wanted in connection with a string of violent crimes, including multiple murders and house robberies, was arrested in Tsolo CBD.
The arrest took place at around 19:40, bringing an end to a month-long search. Police confirmed that the suspect is linked to at least four murders, one attempted murder, and two house robberies committed in Tsolo between April and May 2025.
During the arrest, officers found the suspect in possession of an unlicensed firearm with its serial number deliberately removed. No ammunition was found at the scene. Authorities believe the weapon may have been used in other crimes and have sent it for ballistic testing.
The suspect will appear before the Tsolo Magistrate’s Court, where he will face multiple charges, including the unlawful possession of a firearm.
OR Tambo District Commissioner, Major General Norman Modishana, praised the police officers involved. “Their relentless efforts ensure perpetrators are brought to justice,” he said. “We commend their dedication and commitment to upholding the law.”
