An armed robbery had taken place at St Peter's Square this afternoon at around 15.45 Tuesday 17 March 2015. Apparently the robbers stole a person's I'pad, jumped into an 'Audi' and drove away along the Main Road towards Cape Town. It is assumed that the SAPS was alerted, who then gave chase in which the 'Audi' must have tried to turn down Rochester Road after seeing SAPS approaching from Salt River side, then 'u' turned back to Obs but was blocked by SAPS approaching from Rochester and Scott Roads etc, and stopped them at the Ex Superflo & Caltex garage on corner Rochester and Main Road. The robbers jumped out and tried to run away down towards Rochester corner but were both apprehended by Woodstock SAPS, seemingly assisted in the chase by Metro Police/Traffic, a security company using black cars and even saw an Air Force Warrant Officer on site. The robbers apparently must have thrown the fire arm over a boundary wall in which the SAPS searched the roofs of the homes on Donne Street corner, the firearm subsequently found. The arresting SAPS Officer was Constable Nyanda and other Woodstock SAPS members. *Well done to Woodstock SAPS and other forces*.
