To ensure that offenders of the law are brought to book, SAPS members attached to the Malmesbury Stock Theft Unit and Vredendal Crime Intelligence teamed up with members of Cape Nature Reserve and conducted a clandestine operation on 16 May 2020, in Citrusdal which led to the arrest of four men aged 23, 30, 36 and 46.
They were apprehended in possession of a variety of protected flora and a rhino horn. The value of the confiscated items is yet to be determined.
The suspects are due to face charges of dealing in protected flora and the possession of rhino horn in the Citrusdal court on Tuesday 19 May 2020.
