About 33 people, mostly members of the organized forces, were arrested for allegedly committing various crimes, including killings in Juba and other areas, police said.
Police Spokesperson Daniel Justin told Radio Tamazuj on Thursday that the 33 suspects, who included four foreigners and three civilians, were involved in robberies and killings.
"Those people robbed Alpha Bank, forex bureaus in Juba, one Chinese company at Thongpiny area and another company at Hai Neem. There were also complaints from a wholesale trader and from Artek, a company in Jebel market,” Justin said.
“During the raid, we found in their possession ammunition and Land Cruiser vehicles," he added.
Justin noted that all the suspects are being investigated and will be tried.
Last month, South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir issued an order imposing a night-time curfew as part of efforts to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.
