A suspect in the violent robbery at the Otjomuise Shopping Centre in May has been arrested in the Omusati Region.

Andreas Shaanika, who is believed to have been part of the robbery, appeared at a northern magistrate's court.

The police reported in May that five men allegedly followed the victim, who had just withdrawn N$50,000.00 from a local bank, and attacked him at the Otjomuise shopping centre. The suspects, according to the police, were armed with knives, a panga, and a pistol and robbed the victim of a bag containing the withdrawn money.
