WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Two men were arrested after they tried to break into a bank in Braamfontein early on Monday morning, Johannesburg police have said.

Police spokesperson Captain Bhekizizwe Mavundla said the men, both in their early 20s, were part of a group of four men trying to break into Capitec Bank just before 2am.

Mavundla said a security guard was doing his patrol in the area when he heard a suspicious noise at the back of the bank. He then spotted three men trying to break into the bank.

He called the Hillbrow police and other security guards for back-up.

When the men saw the security guards and police, they started shooting at them.

The police returned fire, injuring one suspect in the back. The other two men then fled.

Police found and arrested the alleged get-away driver who was waiting in a red Toyota Camry.

Industrial instruments including a grinder, bolt-cutter, blades, crowbar and hammer were found on the scene.

The injured man is at Johannesburg Hospital under police guard.

He and the arrested driver will appear in court, as soon as he is discharged from hospital.

They will be charged with an attempted break-in, said Mavundla.

More arrests are expected soon, he said. – Sapa
