Nelspruit - Police have arrested three men suspected of robbing four Chinese journalists in their lodge in Nelspruit on Tuesday morning, Mpumalanga police said.
"I can't tell you much because we are processing the three suspects as we speak," said Captain Leonard Hlathi.
"We found stolen items in their possession, but we are still trying to see if these goods were those stolen from the lodge this morning."
The men were arrested between 05:00 and 06:00 on Tuesday.
"It's still too early to give you more information, what I can say is that they were arrested in different houses in the Lowveld area, said Hlathi.
He said they were being questioned by detectives.
Gunpoint
The four journalists from China's national television network, the China Central Television, were robbed at a lodge in Nelspruit. One of them is based in South Africa.
