Six people suspected of robbing a father and his two sons on a farm in the Malmesbury region were arrested by police on Saturday night, with the assistance of local farmers in their bakkies.
"Seven armed suspects confronted two brothers - aged 17 and 20 - and their father at their residence and attacked them," said Lieutenant Colonel Andrè Traut.
"They fled the scene with personal effects. Approximately 3km from the crime scene, six of the seven suspects were arrested by police.
"They are aged between 23 and 27. The seventh suspect who evaded arrest is being sought."
