Three men were arrested on Wednesday at Walvis Bay after the Namibian Police Force (NamPol) received information that suspects driving a rented VW Polo Vivo planned a cash-in-transit robbery against a security services company.

Erongo NamPol’s Inspector Ileni Shapumba said the police spotted a white VW Polo Vivo vehicle at a shopping parking area at Rikumbi Kandanga Road in this coastal town.

“When the police officers approached the vehicle, the suspects sped off, heading to Kuisebmond, but were allegedly found in Hebron Street and arrested,” Shapumba
added.

The three male suspects are Namibians, aged 30, 34, and 31, respectively.
It is further alleged that three sets of number plates were found hidden near the VW Polo Vivo which was driven by the suspects.

Police investigations into the matter continue.
