King William’s Town – Former police media officer Sibongile Ndyoko is back behind bars in connection with an armed robbery in Gonubie on Tuesday.
Mr Ndyoko, 33, who was dismissed from the police service in July 2002, was arrested at a flat in Buffalo Flats about 2pm yesterday.
He was arrested as a result of information given to police by four suspects arrested in Southernwood in connection with the armed robbery of local businessman, Luis De Matos, 33.
Mr De Matos was robbed of R300 000 in cash and phone cards and a Colt bakkie by five men, two of whom were armed, outside his house in Gonubie at 10pm on Tuesday.
Mr Ndyoko and the four suspects, three from Cape Town and one from Port Elizabeth, aged between 25 and 34, will appear in court next week. Mr Ndyoko is currently out on bail of R1 000 on a charge of illegal possession of a gun. He was arrested after a failed armed robbery at Kentucky Fried Chicken here in July last year.
