“The astute members spotted the vehicle which matched the provided description. The vehicle, with one occupant inside, was stopped and after searching it, the police discovered motorbike parts inside the trailer. The parts were tested and the report indicated that they are subject to an investigation for cases of theft of motorbikes opened at various police stations in Gauteng and North West. The man was arrested and charged for possession of suspected stolen property. The police cannot rule out the possibility of linking the man to other cases relating to the recovered items,” said Col Donald Mdhluli, spokesperson for the police in Mpumalanga.
