Ekurhuleni police yesterday arrested a man believed to behind a string of armed robberies in Benoni's Shangaan Section.

Police spokesman Captain Alfred Nakana said the 21-year-old was arrested after residents did their own bit of investigating, gathered accurate information and then presented it to police.

"Police searched his house and found an unlicensed firearm with ammunition under his bed," said Nakana.
