A 23-year-old alleged gang member arrested in connection with the killing of two police officers and two civilian women in Reiger Park has appeared in the Boksburg Magistrates’ Court.

Police allege that the suspect, Reagan Cheslin Collis, was involved in the killing of Gauteng SAPS Anti-Gang Unit members Constables Tlomatsana and Sibeko, as well as two civilian women. The two officers were gunned down while responding to reports of gunshots in the area while on patrol.

Collis was arrested on Monday following a multi-disciplinary tracing operation that led to the recovery of two R5 rifles at the KwaDukathole Informal Settlement in Germiston over the weekend.

“The operation was led by the DPCI’s Serious Organised Crime Investigation, supported by Gauteng Crime Intelligence Tactical and Special Operations, the Provincial Tracking Team, Tactical Response Team, Anti-Gang Unit and PRASA.”

He made his first appearance in court on Wednesday, facing four counts of murder, one count of attempted murder, two counts of robbery with aggravating circumstances, and charges of possession of unlicensed firearms and ammunition.

The court heard that Collis was out on bail at the time of his arrest and has several pending criminal cases, including two counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder and possession of an unlicensed firearm.

The case has been postponed to 25 August 2026 for a formal bail application. The Hawks have indicated that the State will oppose bail.

Investigations into the killings are continuing, with police pursuing other people who may have been involved. Authorities have not ruled out further arrests, while additional charges could also be added as the investigation unfolds.
