Four suspects found with dagga and stolen properties in Lebowakgomo
Four men between 21 and 41 were arrested for possession of dagga and stolen goods.
POLOKWANE – Four suspects were arrested in Lebowakgomo on Sunday. The men were found with dagga and suspected stolen properties.
They are between 21 and 41 years old.
The quartet was arrested during an intelligence-driven joint operation between the Crime Intelligence Unit and members from Lebowakgomo SAPS.
Limpopo SAPS spokesman, Brig Motlafelo Mojapelo said the police received information about the suspects and conducted a sting in the Lebowakgomo policing area, which led to this breakthrough.
“The following items were recovered during the arrest: a laptop, three cellphones, an undisclosed amount of cash, 22 plastic bags full of dagga and a 50 kg maize meal bag full of dagga with an estimated street value of R50 000.
“More recoveries were made in one of the suspects’s residences. This included a plasma TV, three Sony speakers and a silver VW Golf sedan. Two large plastic bags of dagga worth thousands of rands were found concealed inside the vehicle,” revealed Mojapelo.
The provincial commissioner of the SAPS in Limpopo, Lt Gen Nneke Ledwaba, welcomed the arrests and applauded this team for their swift action.
The suspects are expected to appear before the Lebowakgomo Magistrate’s Court soon. Police investigations are ongoing.
