The effective response of our members have led to the arrest of suspects on charges related to the possession of suspected stolen property. Members attached to Strand SAPS received information from the complainant that his stolen property was being advertised as for sale on Facebook.
The stolen property had previously been reported stolen by the complainant following an incident that occurred earlier this year at Jeftha Street, Strand when items were taken from his motor vehicle.
Members immediately verified and followed up on the information provided by the complainant which subsequently led them to a house at Jacobs Avenue, Strand. The members conducted a search on the premises and discovered some of the stolen property.
All recovered property amounting to R500, 000 and was positively identified by the complainant.
Two male suspects, aged 22 and 34, were subsequently arrested and will be charged with the initial theft out of motor vehicle and the possession of suspected stolen property.
They are expected to appear in the Strand Magistrate’s Court on 24 October 2019, on mentioned charges.
