12 January 2026- The police in Mothibistad urge motorists who intend traveling either during the early hours of the morning or late at night to be alert and vigilant. This warning comes after an incident during the early hours of Saturday, 10 January 2026 at approximately 3am.
The Vispol Commander, Captain Nomvuyo Makoloi said while the police were conducting Blue Light Patrol along the N14 road in Kagung village, near Kuruman, they encountered road construction signs placed in the road suspected to have been set up by alleged criminals. Makoloi said the signs and equipment erected resembled a stop-and-go point and is intended to have motorists stop at the so-called stop-and-go after which the occupants are attacked with stones and robbed of their belongings.
“The police immediately removed the obstruction and reopened the road. However, no suspects were found at the scene. The police are urging the public to be alert and vigilant and exercise caution, especially during late-night and early-morning travels and report any suspicious road blockages or activities immediately to the relevant authorities.
