Klerksdorp - Ten suspects appeared in the Klerksdorp Magistrate's Court this morning following their arrest on Thursday for an attempted bank robbery.
 
Police officials received a tip-off about the planned bank robbery.
Two AK 47 rifles and three magazines were recovered. No cash was stolen during the incident.
 
The case was postponed to next week Tuesday so that all the suspects, who cannot be named until they have pleaded, can obtain legal representation. They will then present a formal bail application.
 
As a security precaution the men are being kept at three different police holding cells, in Stilfontein, Hartbeesfontein and Jouberton respectively.
 
The state's prosecutor Riekie Crouse intends to oppose bail during their next appearance.
