Police spokesman, Captain Petros Mpinge said the officers immediately booked back on duty and drove to the Litsheni area in the Eastern Cape where they found four suspects selling stolen property.
“They were arrested and two cellphones were found in their possession. The suspects were taken to Margate Saps. The task team officers then received further information of additional stolen property at one of the suspects’ houses in Margate. They recovered six flat screen TVs, one microwave, several bags of clothing and linen which totalled a substantial amount,” said Capt Mpinge.
All four suspects appeared in the Ramsgate Magistrates Court on charges of housebreaking. The case was postponed for further investigation.
