A Directorate of Intelligence and Security (DIS) agent, Derick Masukula based in Gaborone has been arrested alongside, the notorious Mogomotsi Thupane, Thato Moatshe and Ronnie Sanana for the recent Choppies Meriting robbery.

The quartet, and another two still at large, allegedly forcefully entered the Choppies Meriting store in Francistown and stole cash amounting to P190,000 at gunpoint, last Saturday. The three masked men allegedly robbed the store at 8:30pm, just minutes after closing for the day, threatening staff members with something similar to a gun.

The suspects are likely to be arraigned before Francistown Magistrate’s Court on Friday.
