Rustenburg - Three suspects are expected to appear in the Rustenburg Magistrate's Court today after they shot and injured several congregants during a robbery at a church near the R510 on Sunday.


North West police spokesperson, Kelebogile Moleko, says three men entered the church posing as churchgoers. She says when the pastor asked if there were any visitors to the church the three stood up.


Moleko says 20 cell phones were found in his possession. The other two men were arrested on Monday morning at Boitikong near Rustenburg. They face charges of business robbery and attempted murder. Police could not confirm if two more people were arrested in connection with the robbery following the three arrests.
