The members of the Lebowakgomo Crime Intelligence Unit in collaboration with the Westenburg Detectives and Visible Policing Unit nabbed four male suspects during an intelligence driven operation that was conducted in the early hours of Saturday, 5 November 2022 in Westenburg policing area.
The suspects were arrested at Disteneng (New Pietersburg) outside Polokwane after police received a tip-off about the suspects who were allegedly in possession of stolen solar panels and immediately operationalised on the information.
