The arrest follows after the Brits Trio task received intelligence about two vehicles that were loaded with pipes allegedly stolen from one of the mines. It is alleged that the vehicles; a white Toyota LDV and a white Toyota Dyna truck were stopped for a search. During the search, the vehicles were found loaded with pipes. Both drivers aged 26 and 28 were arrested for possession of suspected stolen goods.
One of the drivers called his brother in Katlehong, Gauteng Province and asked him to come to the scene. On arrival, the suspect’s brother aged 50 attempted to bribe the police with R800-00. The brother was arrested for bribery.
The suspects are expected to appear in the Brits Magistrates Court soon.
