Four nabbed with stolen goods

Four suspects, aged between 26 and 35, appeared in the Port Shepstone Magistrate’s Court on Monday this week, after they were found in possession of stolen goods.

They were arrested by the Paddock and Mehlomnyama police who conducted a joint operation at Kwadweshula last Sunday, after obtaining a search warrant from the court.

The suspects were traced to a house at Kwadweshula area, and on arrival police requested to search the house and permission was granted.

Police spokesperson, Constable Thenjiswa Ngcobo said a rifle, a revolver and various rounds of ammunition were recovered.

“The police also recovered takkies, TV sets and a water pump. A preliminary investigation revealed that the property recovered was taken during house robberies in Mehlomnyama and Paddock, and the suspects have been linked to a house robbery case at Nyandezulu where a Road Accident Fund beneficiary was robbed of cash, clothing and various takkies in May.

“They have been linked to seven more house robberies that took place in various areas,” said Ngcobo.
