The 51-year-old suspect was wanted for a robbery and cash-in-transit heist that took place at the George local organic fresh fruit market on 21 December 2020.
A team comprising the Hawks, Crime Intelligence, Public Order Policing, Eden Cluster Crime Combating team and Local Criminal Record Centre acted on information about a suspect at a house allegedly in possession of a large amount of cash.
Hawks spokesperson Captain Lloyd Ramovha said officers went to the suspect’s house and conducted a search.
“Officers found brand new high-end furniture and a large amount of money. The investigation has since linked the suspect to an armed robbery that took place on 21 December, where a fresh fruit market along Laing Street and a cash van were robbed of an undisclosed amount of money by an unknown number of armed suspects.
