Thaba Nchu police foil planned robbery─── 11:16 Wed, 03 Dec 2014
Thaba Nchu - Thaba Nchu police have foiled an alleged planned robbery after they arrested five people near Albert Moroka Hospital in the early hours of this morning.
Free State police spokesperson, Peter Kareli, says the police received information that the suspects were planning to rob a local chain store.
The suspects were found with two pistols, of which one is a police firearm, and a bag full of explosives frequently used in ATM bombings.
Kareli says police will further try to determine whether or not the suspects were involved in recent ATM bombings in Thaba Nchu and Bloemfontein.
