“The items taken from the convenience store were recovered from being in their possession. Durban North SAPS were notified and arrived at the scene a short while later. Upon searching the suspects’ vehicle, various clothing items were discovered.

“The suspects were questioned and could not provide a reasonable explanation for possessing these items, leading officers to believe they were stolen from a clothing store,” he said.

Powell added that the suspects are facing charges of shoplifting and being in possession of suspected stolen items.
