Police have arrested four suspects in connection with last week‘s brazen heist at OR Tambo International Airport, but are still searching for the stolen money. One of the suspects is a police officer. Acting national police commissioner Lieutenant-General Khomotso Phahlane said last night two of the suspects had appeared in the Kempton Park Magistrate‘s Court yesterday on charges of armed robbery. Phahlane declined to comment on the identity of the police officer who had been arrested, or his three alleged accomplices.
