Rietgat police searching for container thieves
The container is worth R28 000 and the tools, raw materials and equipment inside it are worth about R65 000.
Rietgat police are investigating a case of theft after a container belonging to Total Chance Primary Co-operative was stolen last week Wednesday.
Captain Stephen Maluleka said according to the complainant, everything was in order when he left his place of residence.
“He received a phone call from his tenant the day after informing him that a truck with an unknown registration number loaded his green container and drove away. A case of theft has been opened and is under investigation.”
One of the founders of the co-operative, Themba Nthite said the container is worth R28 000 and the tools, raw materials and equipment inside the container are worth about R65 000.
“The container was donated by our mentoring company during our pilot project in Soshanguve block HH in 2016. They donated it so that we can sustain our business of manufacturing cold asphalt using intensive technology since we are having a problem with potholes in our country.”
Maluleka said anyone with information regarding what happened to the container can contact the police on 0860-010111.
