Another person was arrested on Sunday in Soweto and will appear in the Mahikeng Magistrate's Court soon on the same charges.
Hawks head Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya said the police would not rest until all the members of the organised criminal group were arrested.
Police have warned that the public should not approach the wanted suspect if he is spotted because he is considered armed and dangerous.
Any member of the public who might be harbouring him has been warned to immediately desist because it is a criminal offence.
