Two men aged 29 and 44 are expected to appear before Mogwase Magistrate’s Court on 11 March 2024, in connection with the alleged possession of suspected stolen goats. According to the North West police spokesperson, Lieutenant Col Amanda Funani, the suspects were apprehended on 8 March 2024, after 25 goats were found in their truck.
Funani said the Sun City Police were conducting their daily patrols on the R565 at Matooster, when they spotted a suspicious Hyundai truck along the road.
“The police went to investigate and whilst searching the truck, they discovered the goats. The duo failed to account for the livestock and they were immediately arrested.
“The suspects were allegedly on their way to Soweto in Gauteng, when their vehicle broke down on the R565 road. The investigations revealed that the goats were stolen at Makgope village, near Mabeskraal in Rustenburg,” she said.
Meanwhile, the North West Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, congratulated the police for their vigilance that led to the arrest of the duo. Kwena said the police will continue to work hard to remove criminals from the streets of North West.
