"Preliminary police investigations revealed that he was not in the car during this incident and he is cooperating with the SAPS to track down the suspects, of which one has been identified.
APEL – Polokwane City’s Zimbabwean midfielder, Walter Musona, was taken in for questioning after stolen goods were found in his BMW sedan on Friday.
Musona’s car was allegedly involved in a robbery at Mohlaletse Guest House during the night. Limpopo SAPS spokesman, Col Moatshe Ngoepe made it clear that Musona had not been arrested but only taken in for questioning, since the getaway car belonged to him.
Ngoepe said they have launched a massive manhunt for a group of armed suspects involved in the robbery, which occurred at about 01:00 on May 10 at the guest house.
“It is alleged that a group of suspects attacked employees, shot one of them and ransacked the building. The suspects thereafter uninstalled the plasma TVs from the walls, loaded them inside a vehicle and stole several other electrical appliances before they fled the scene in a white BMW sedan.”
Ngoepe said the SAPS were summoned and reacted swiftly.
The suspects’ car was immediately followed by the police and a car chase ensued until the culprits lost control of the vehicle and hit a tree alongside the road. They managed to flee on foot.
