A Taung man is expected to appear at Kathu Magistrate’s Court for Cash-in-Transit heist ON Wednesday. The suspect was subsequently arrested by the Hawks on Monday after intensive investigations.
The Hawks spokesperson in Northern Cape, Nomthandazo Mnisi said even though the incident took place in January 2020 at Kathu Mall in Kuruman, where heavily armed suspects allegedly attacked and robbed a security guard a trolley bag containing an undisclosed amount of money, they are grateful to make a breakthrough in this case.
“Police responded to the scene, resulting in a high-speed chase which ended in one suspect, Karabo Moshweshwe (37) being apprehended. The rest of the group managed to getaway. However, in the latest turn of event, another suspect was arrested following months of investigations.
“The intensive investigation was effected during a tracing operation in Taung in the North West province by a team consist of the Hawks’ Serious Organised Crime Investigation, Crime Intelligence and Tactical Response Team on Monday,” said Mnisi.
Meanwhile, Moshweshwe has already made several court appearances and his bail application attempt has been unsuccessful thus far. Mnisi said the remaining suspects are still at large and being pursued.
