On Saturday, July 24 the Kagiso Police braved the cold weather from 07:00 to 19:00 to combat crime in their area.
“During their vigorous and results-driven operation, the members received yet another tip-off of a suspect at Tshepisong Phase 7 who was in possession of suspected stolen property,” said Kagiso Police’s spokesperson, Captain Solomon Sibiya.
The police reacted swiftly to this information and at the given address they found a 45-year-old man who had locked himself in and refused the police entry.
When the man later gave in and opened the door the police discovered sealed boxes of suspected stolen goods. Some were even hidden inside the ceiling.
“Police arrested him and confiscated the goods.”
A 34-year-old woman from Zulu Jump was also arrested for brewing a concoction and selling it.
“The team further stretched their net as they closed in on illegal miners once again. An assortment of illegal mining equipment and machinery was found and confiscated, and three illegal miners were apprehended.”
The Kagiso Police station commander, Brigadier Themba Maduna said, “The war against criminality won’t stop now. Our working relationship with communities is always improving, and more information is coming forward. We must win,” he said.
