After receiving a complaint from Vodacom about people busy tampering with a Vodacom tower, SAPS members of Mothibistad, Kuruman and Kuruman POP quickly responded to the complaint.
Upon further investigation at the scene, three male nationals were arrested after being found with housebreaking implements including a grinder, spanners, extension cords, a battery and fire extinguishers, etc.
A white Ford Ranger double cap was also seized as it is believed to have been utilized in the commission of a crime.
