22-year-old Jahanjello Williams of Villa will make his first court appearance, probably as early as today, after he was arrested and charged by the police in connection with a robbery at a supermarket in Sutherlands.
Williams is accused of robbing the owner of the business establishment of an undisclosed sum of money during an incident that occurred around 10 p.m. on Wednesday, 16 July 2025.
Further police investigations into the incident resulted in his arrest and subsequent charge. He is expected to appear before the court sometime next week.

The police have arrested and separately charged a 16-year-old male and a 22-year-old male, both residents of Villa, for committing an act tending to pervert the course of justice.
