In their pursuit to protect our maritime resources and bring perpetrators to book, members from the SAPS Tactical Response Team (TRT) and from local security followed up on a tip off received about abalone. Three men aged 24, 28 and 39 years old were found in possession of the abalone at an address in Plumstead on 26 July 2018 at 22:00. The residence in Plumstead was searched and 19 097 units of abalone, with processing machinery, to an estimated street value of R2million were seized. Once they are charged the suspects will appear in Wynberg Magistrates’ Court.
Diep River SAPS would like to thank the community and Combat Force Security for working together with SAPS to combat crime.
