4 police imposters arrested

Four men were arrested after entering a Vanderbijlpark home by pretending to be policemen and holding up the owner, Gauteng police said on Thursday.

Captain Noxolo Kweza said the four men were part of a group of ten who robbed a Vanderbijlpark man in his home on Monday.

Dressed in police uniforms, they got into the man's home and when he asked them for further identification, they pointed firearms at him and held him up.

They demanded that he show them the safe and took R2 000. They also took his Chrysler Voyager.

Investigations led police to Katlehong where they arrested four of the men, recovered the car and seized four firearms.

They also seized police boots, reflector jackets and an SA National Defence Force uniform.
