A disgraced former policeman who faces unrelated rhino poaching and murder charges was again arrested yesterday in Hazyview.

It is reported that the man was caught with explosives commonly used in the commission of cash-in-transit heists.

The operation in which the SAPS’s elite National Intervention Unit pounced on a workshop follows a meticulous investigation by the Hawks.

It is understood the man, who can only be named once he has appeared in court, was found in possession of two sticks of dynamite, two detonators, two chords and three rounds of 458 ammunition.

He spent the night behind bars and is expected to appear in the Calcutta Magistrate’s Court this morning.
