Media Statement LADYBRAND – On 26 March 2024 at about 05:10, members conducted operation “Vala Umgodi” through stop and searches near Maseru Port of Entry when they stopped a male person carrying a bag. While searching the bag, members found a large sum of money. The male could not give a clear indication of the source and he was arrested for possession of suspected stolen money.
