Three illegal immigrants nabbed by CPF

A team of six Brakpan CPF members arrested suspected illegal miners, who were then detained by Brakpan SAPS and charged with illegal immigration.

Brakpan SAPS communications officer Constable Audrey Buthelezi confirmed on Tuesday that the CPF apprehended the three foreign nationals last Thursday on Oval Road in Brakpan North at around 12:00 and confiscated suspected illegal mining equipment.

The confiscated tools include water pumps, petrol, mini solar panels, four rubber bullets, spades, picks and a hack saw.

Brakpan SAPS extend its thanks to the CPF members who assisted in the prevention of crime.
