Two to appear in Khayelitsha Court

Two people have been arrested after a 25-year-old kidnapped woman was rescued in the Western Cape.

This followed a collaboration between various specialised units in the South African Police Service (SAPS) in Strand.

On Thursday, a multi-disciplinary Anti-Kidnapping Investigation task team, supported by the Provincial Operations Command Center Combat Unit, detectives, and crime intelligence among others, embarked on a takedown operation.

This followed further investigation into the kidnapping incident of 05 February that is linked to house robbery that occurred in Strand on 26 January.

The investigation led the team to premises situated in Site B off Mew Way in Khayelitsha yesterday, where they search and found two firearms and 200 rounds of different calibres of ammunition.

“Subsequent to the discovery, the members arrested a 29-year-old suspect and seized the firearms, ammunition and two tortoises which were kept in custody without a permit. The members also found small amounts of drugs which were seized,” said the SAPS in a statement on Friday.

The members proceeded to another house where they found the kidnapped woman who was rescued while another 22-year-old female suspect was arrested.

The suspects face charges related to unlawful possession of firearms and ammunition, the possession of presumed stolen property, illegal possession of drugs and keeping of wild animals in captivity without a permit.

The two are expected to appear in the Khayelitsha Magistrates Court once charged. – SAnews.gov.za
