A 32-year-old man is expected to appear in the Somerset West Magistrate’s Court soon after the vehicle he was travelling in was linked to several house robberies, including rape.
Police said the robbery cases, including the rape, took place in areas such as Bothasig, Table View, Stellenbosch, and Kleinmond.
The Western Cape police spokesperson, Thembakazi Mpendukana, said a crime-combating operation was conducted by members of the Somerset West Crime Prevention Unit that led to the discovery of the vehicle.
“The police spotted a grey Honda BRV that was linked with the above-mentioned cases on the N2 Road on Wednesday, July 8, at about 5.45am. An attempt to stop the vehicle was made, but the suspect drove at high speed in the direction of Cape Town using the N2,” Mpendukana said.
