– lead detectives to hidden gun & ammunition
More than one month after robbing a pensioner at Yarrowkabra, a community along the Soesdyke/Linden Highway, three men have been arrested for the crime.
Amos Emanuel, 22, of Circuitville, and Bryan Khan, 28, of Yarrowkabra, Soesdyke-Linden Highway, were on Thursday arrested for the offence of ‘break-and-enter-and-larceny’ committed on Mohamed Hack on November 22, 2023.
During interrogation, Emanuel admitted that he and Khan had broken into Hack’s house and stolen the businessman’s firearm and a quantity of ammunition. He further related that, after the robbery, Khan had taken away the firearm from him along with some of the ammunition. 
Following the confession, Khan reportedly took detectives to his backyard, where he pointed to a black plastic bag hidden in a clump of bushes in which was contained one Astra .38 revolver with three matching rounds in the breech.
There were also two spent shells as well as 49 rounds of live .38 ammunition which were in an ammunition box, property of Hack.
The suspects were further interviewed by detectives, after which Khan took detectives to the home of Alwyn James, a 27-year-old taxi driver of Yarrowkabra, where he pointed to an area in which another set of ammunition was buried.
The area was dug up, and 31 twelve-gauge cartridges were found in a black plastic bucket.
James was also arrested, and is in custody assisting with the ongoing investigation.
