MEYERTON.- Eleven suspects aged between 27 and 46 were arrested at a Meyerton fuel plant by the members of the Hawks’ Tactical Operations Management Section (TOMS) on Sunday morning for theft of fuel.

The Hawks’ TOMS members received intelligence about a robbery that was to occur in Meyerton at a fuel plant.

“The information was operationalised and the area was placed under surveillance. During surveillance, two tankers were seen entering the premises which preliminary investigation found that it had been placed under administration.  Preliminary investigation also purports that the security personnel guarding the premises might be in cahoots with the nine suspects arrested.
