“Police worked closely with a security company when they pounced on a 56-year-old suspect in Tshepisong,” Sibiya said in his statement.
The man was arrested for possession of stolen mine property and later told police about another secret hideout.
There the police arrested a 28-year-old and 33-year-old man for possession of unlicensed rounds of ammunition.
