Two suspects, aged 34 and 37 are expected to appear in the Lehurutshe Magistrates’ Court today for possession of suspected stolen livestock.
The duo, from Botswana, was arrested at the Madutle borderline, Lehurutshe in the Ngala Modire Molema District on Friday, 5 November 2021.
According to information available at this stage, reports suggest that members of the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) were patrolling the area when they stopped a suspicious White Isuzu Bakkie loaded with 11 sheep and 9 goats. Police were summoned to the scene. The two suspects could not prove ownership of the stock and after information was followed up, the stock was identified, the lawful owner was traced and the two suspects were arrested.
