Gang 'terrorising' KZN community found with police uniform, stolen alcohol
Nine suspects linked to a string of armed robberies in the Umzinyathi District will line up in the dock in Dundee on Tuesday.
They were arrested on Monday, hours after a liquor store was robbed in Glencoe.
KZN police spokesperson Robert Netshiunda says a gang stormed the bottle store, making off with a large amount of alcohol, money and sound equipment.

He says a joint operation led officers to a house in Sithembile.
"The suspects were found in possession of two firearms whose serial numbers were filed off. A further search inside the house and inside a vehicle which was parked in the premises led to the recovery of suspected stolen liquor as well as a police uniform.
"The suspects are believed to be a gang which has been terrorising the community of Glencoe and Dundee, and they are likely to be linked with a series of armed robberies which have been happening in and around the area."
