SANParks said it was conducting an interview with the suspect when he allegedly fled and was cornered after the Camps Bay CID closed off a section of Kloof Road following another robbery.

SANParks said it believed there was a link between the two incidents.

A search involving Camps Bay police, law enforcement, security and external resources was launched.

The suspect was also allegedly found to be in possession of stolen items and weapons. He has since been detained at Camps Bay SAPS.
