The suspect was arrested on 6 December 2017 at 14:00 during the police operations in the area. The members from Ulundi Task Team and Vryheid were conducting their Festive Season operations in the area when they noticed a suspicious looking VW Polo vehicle travelling in the Central Business District, Vryheid.
