Two men aged 33 and 43 were arrested by Kuruman Stock Theft Unit for possession of two carcasses of a sheep and goat suspected to have been stolen on Wednesday, 3 February 2021 at about 18:00.

It is reported that members of a security company in Kuruman noticed a white double cab Toyota bakkie on the R31 road between Kuruman and Danielskuil and contacted the police.
