A search conducted at the suspect’s place resulted in the recovery of goods such as cigarettes, coins, different bath soaps, welding machine, gloves and other items. Further investigation into the matter led the team to the second suspect’s place where similar items and a pick axe were confiscated.
The District Commissioner of Bojanala Platinum Sub-District 1 (Brits), Major General Modisagaarekwe Mosimanegape lauded the task team members for a sterling job.
