Following a tip off from a member of the public, members attached to the Maitland Crime prevention unit conducted an investigation at the PRASA premises in Maitland.
Two suspects were seen cutting a hole in the fence along the railway line and left the premises with steel braces. The investigation led members to a scrapyard where the two suspects aged 36 and 42 were arrested while attempting to sell the 27 steel braces.
The value of the property is estimated at R 30 000-00. Once charged, the suspects are due to make a court appearance in Cape Town on a charge of possession of stolen property.
