POTCHEFSTROOM – Two men aged 29 and 44 are expected to appear before Mogwase Magistrates’ Court on Monday, 11 March 2024, in connection with the alleged possession of suspected stolen goats. The suspects’ court appearance emanates from their apprehension on Friday, 8 March 2024, after 25 goats were found in their truck. According to information, Sun City Police were conducting their daily patrols on the R565 at Matooster when they spotted a suspicious Hyundai truck along the road. 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. Investigations revealed that the goats were stolen at Makgope village near Mabeskraal, outside Rustenburg.
The Provincial Police Commissioner, Lieutenant General Sello Kwena, congratulated Sun City Police for their vigilance that led to the arrest of the duo. He said police will continue to work hard to remove criminals from the streets of North West.
