A Randburg police officer has appeared in court on charges of rape and robbery.

Three men accused of robbing a business in Isando appeared in the Kempton Park Magistrate's Court on Monday, police said.

Captain Jethro Mtshali said the matter was postponed to July 12 for further investigation. They would remain in custody.

He said a group of men held security guards at gunpoint at a business on Saturday morning. One of the guards pressed a panic button, alerting the police and security.

“The three, aged between 31 and 40, were arrested on the scene, while others managed to flee,” said Mtshali

He said a suspected stolen bakkie was recovered and a 9mm firearm was seized. More arrests were expected. – Sapa
