Members who were busy conducting operational duties on Monday, 20 March 2023 received information about a white Renault Cleo transporting sheep on Askham road. The vehicle was spotted about 10km outside Upington and a high-speed chase ensued.
The vehicle was later stopped and four sheep were found in the boot of the vehicle.
The occupants of the vehicle failed to provide proof of ownership. The vehicle was also circulated and found to be reported as stolen on a Cape Town Central case.
The police arrested four men and a woman aged between 29 and 36 respectively. The suspects are facing charges of stock theft and possession of the stolen property. They are all expected to appear in the magistrate court in Upington soon.
