Community members in Uitenhage have apprehended a suspect for his alleged involvement in a business robbery, but were taken to task by the police for taking the law into their own hands.Police spokesperson, Captain Gerda Swart, says the man was caught by community members who chased after four men who had robbed a shop in the Moeggesukkel informal settlment.
She says the suspect had fallen and was overpowered by the group who allegedly beat him up before police arrived.
The other three managed to get away.
Swart says that 35-year-old will appear in court on Wednesday.
Police have routinely warned communities not to take the law into the own hands.
