A 51 year old Adriaan Human who is a speculator, is expected to appear together with George Ketshabang (51) in the Biesiesvlei Periodical Court on Friday 24 May 2019, for formal bail application.
The accused were remanded in custody upon appearance in the Lichtenburg Magistrates’ Court on Monday 20 May 2019, on charges of theft and possession of suspected stolen stock. The duo were apprehended in the early hours of Thursday 16 May 2019, following alleged theft of 25 cattle from a farm approximately 20km from Biesiesvlei.
According to information received, after stealing the cattle, the initial three suspects drove them to a communal farm near Biesiesvlei. It was at the farm that workers became suspicious and alerted the police who responded swiftly to the tip-off.
It is alleged that two suspects managed to run away and evaded arrest. However, Adriaan Human who was found loading some of the stolen cattle into his truck, was arrested together with George Ketshabang.
All suspected stolen cattle valued at R300 000.00 were recovered and a truck was seized. The cattle were handed back to the lawful owner.
The North West Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Baile Motswenyane thanked farmworkers and the police for their cooperation that resulted in the arrest and recovery of suspected stolen cattle.
