The property including tools and machinery to the value of R 56 000-00 were recovered and the suspects were taken to Lady Frere where they will appear before court for the possession of suspected stolen property.
In the second incident, Sgt Nyongwana and the members working night shift received positive information about suspected stolen goods that were in the suspect’s possession. The positive information was once again followed up and a laptop and clothing to the value of R 17 000-00 were recovered that were reportedly stolen in a burglary business case at Indwe. The three suspects between the ages of 16 and 17 were arrested for possession of suspected stolen property.
The Cluster Commander, Col Matshediso Gezani commended the members for the successes achieved and the recovery of the property.
She also thanked the community for rejecting and reporting the stolen goods that are circulating in their areas. In this way we tighten the space for the criminals and they will know their actions will not be tolerated by the community and the SAPS.
Together are making significant strides in claiming back our space of feeling safe and secure.
