GQEBERHA police in Despatch are seeking the public’s assistance in tracing two wanted suspects.
Dumisa Christian Blouw (21), also known as Kweylar, was arrested after being positively linked to several cases of housebreaking and theft.
According to Captain Gerda Swart Cell, Blouw appeared in the Kariega Magistrates Court on 13 June and was released on bail.
“The case was postponed to 19 August, but Blouw failed to attend court. A warrant for his arrest was issued,” Cell said in a statement.
She added that cops had also launched a manhunt for Thabiso Smith, who was arrested on 31 March on a charge of possession of suspected stolen property (copper cables) and was later linked to a theft case in Despatch.
The 24-year-old appeared in the Kariega Magistrates Court on 4 April, and the case was postponed to 23 May.
“Smith failed to attend court and has been on the run ever since. A warrant for his arrest was also issued,” Cell added.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the suspects is urged to contact Detective Warrant Officer Mario Jonck on 084 810 9078 or Despatch SAPS on 041 933 8000.
