MALALANE – The three suspects arrested for burgling Sizakalani Cash Loans in Station Street on July 11, appeared in the Periodical Court on August 27.
Their trail was again postponed to September 29. The suspects known as Mr Mzamani Baloyi (40), Mr Sifiso Nklema (26) and Mr Nomsa Qotwane (51) have since been released on bail.
As soon as the burglary took place, local SAPS informed Malalane Against Crime (MAC) of an orange Polo which was identified as the getaway car by waitresses at a restaurant next to the cash-loans business. MAC then swiftly informed the public and gave a detailed description of the vehicle via SMSes.
During the search in and around town, the local SAPS received a tip-off from residents in Hectorspruit that a vehicle matching the description was heading to Komatipoort at high speed.
“Farmers found the Polo on the Strydomblock Road with flat tyres, but the suspects were nowhere to be seen,” said Const Bheki Nkosi, spokesman for the police.
Another suspect vehicle, a Renault Sandero, was then stopped on a farm in Komatipoort and its occupants allegedly fled into an orchard. Two of them were apprehended. “On Monday July 14, the third suspect, allegedly an employee of Sizakalani Cash Loans, was also arrested and appeared in court with the two others.”
