Pretoria - Three men have been arrested after 22 computers were found in their possession in Eersterust, said Pretoria police on Thursday.
Spokesperson Paul Ramaloko said police saw a suspicious-looking Mazda 323 in Eersterust in the early hours of Thursday.
He said when police tried to pull the car over, the driver sped off and police gave chase.
Ramaloko said: "They surrendered to the police. Two guns and 22 computers were found in the car."
The suspects were arrested and charged with possession of stolen property and the possession of an unlicensed firearm.
Ramaloko said the arrests followed an arrest in Mamelodi on Wednesday when a 37-year-old man was arrested after being found in possession of seven computers, a printer and a Toyota Corolla with a Mozambican registration plate.
The suspect was charged with possession of stolen property.
