Three suspects were arrested for possession of property suspected to be stolen on Sunday 9 January 2022.
The Police were conducted their routine patrols at about 05:00 when they noticed three African Males carrying bags that looked heavy on them.
When the suspects saw a police van they became more suspicious and walked more quicker and as a result police stopped and searched them, starting with the one who was behind. Inside his bag they found a big round copper.
Upon interrogation he told them he took it from a transformer in one of the sections of Daggakraal.
He was immediately arrested and the other two were chased and found hiding in a toilet of a tavern nearby. They were also searched and found round block of copper similar to the first one and a backpack full of tools.
All three suspects were arrested for possession of property suspected to be stolen.
The police went to the scene to check and they found a transformer that was tampered with and with its covers lying down.
The suspects will appear before Amersfoort Magistrate’s Court tomorrow, Tuesday 11th.
