TWO suspects were arrested for theft after they allegedly entered a well-known retail shop in Mahikeng on Friday. North West police spokesperson, Major Pelonomi Makau says the suspects were arrested after suspected stolen goods were found in their possession.

“A 24 year-old woman allegedly entered a retail shop and stole new clothes from the shop. The security guards followed her. When the woman realized that the security guards are pouncing on her, she dropped the plastic and ran into a gateway minibus taxi that was waiting for her.

“The security guards managed to arrest the driver and the woman before they could flee. The other clothes from other retailers estimated at R35 000 were also found in the taxi. The driver aged 32 was arrested alongside the woman for being in possession of suspected stolen goods. They appeared before Mahikeng Magistrate’s Court on Monday for theft.” Makau said.
