A multi-disciplinary team operationalised intelligence that led to the apprehension and arrest of two suspects for the alleged business burglary at a well-known retail store in Kuruman.
The suspects were traced and found unpacking the looted cargo at a house in Seoding village near Kuruman.
The preliminary investigation indicated that the suspects gained entrance into the retail store through the roof in early hours of Tuesday, 09 August 2022.
Goods to the value of more than R600 000-00 which included cellphones, laptops, clothing, and shoes were stolen as well as an undisclosed amount of money.
The team seized the NP 200 bakkie believed to have been instrumental in the commission of a crime.
The suspects aged 27 and 32 are expected to appear in the Kuruman Magistrate’s Court on Thursday, 11 August 2022 on charges of business robbery. The Acting Deputy Provincial Commissioner for Crime Detection, Brigadier Nicky Mills commended the team for excellent investigative work which led to the arrest of the suspects and the recovery of stolen goods.
