The Hawks’ Serious Commercial Crime Investigation team in Port Elizabeth arrested two suspects aged 27 and 36 for possession of rhino horn and possession of suspected stolen property.
It is alleged that on 12 February 2021, an operation was conducted after an information about a man who wanted to sell a rhino horn was received. The set up deal was conducted in a restaurant at the Port Elizabeth Beachfront which led to the arrest of the suspects and the seizure of a rhino horn as well as two vehicles.
The suspects were charged and will appear at the Port Elizabeth Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 15 February 2021.
