Police busts suspect with R25 000 worth of stolen chicken feed.

Hekpoort Police arrested a 33-year-old male for possession of suspected stolen property.

Constable Makhubele was conducting a routine patrol on the R563 road next to the Weldevreden area in Hekpoort when he noticed a suspicious looking vehicle.

“He then stopped a white Colt bakkie overloaded with luggage,” Constable Gloria Maswanganye, Hekpoort Communication and Liaison Service said.

Police searched the luggage and found chicken feed inside, for the value of R25 000.

Constable Makhubele further alleges that the driver of the bakkie could not give a clear explanation and proof of possession or purchase of the contents that he was transporting.

Since his arrest the suspect has made a brief appearance in court.
