The police in Northern Cape have confiscated numerous Transnet property and live rounds of ammunition at one scrap metal dealer for which a possession of ammunition case is being investigated.

The Northern Cape police spokesperson, Sergeant Timothy Sam said SAPS Firearm, Liquor and Second Hand Goods (FLASH) Unit, the Kimberley SAPS Designated Second-Hand Goods Officers, the Western Cape SAPS Rapid Rail Unit in conjunction with Telkom and Transnet, conducted compliance inspections at five scrap metal dealers in Kimberley on 13 February 2024.

“The multi-disciplinary compliance inspections focused on illicit metals, contrabands, stolen cables, batteries, concealed business activities and combating transit crimes.

“Pamphlets with safety hints and tips were shared amongst the employees and clients of the different scrapmetal dealers,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Northern Cape Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Koliswa Otola, thanked all members and stakeholders involved as compliance checks assist the police in reducing non-ferrous metals related crimes.
