THE Klerksdorp police are investigating the possession of suspected stolen property.  

This after one of Mzansi's leading short-run print companies was raided on Monday afternoon, 9 October in Klerksdorp, North West.  

Police bakkies were seen loading from the store. 

Meanwhile, onlookers were also on the scene. 

Daily Sun investigated the matter. 

According to a source, it's alleged that police raided both Klerksdorp and Potchefstroom stores.

"It's alleged that police received a tip-off about stolen government printing papers at that store. And when the police started raiding, they found evidence in Potchefstroom store.  

"While still at Potchefstroom store, information was shared that the same property is still available at the Klerksdorp branch store," a source said. 

Daily Sun also saw the property being loaded in the police bakkies from the Klerksdorp store.  

Instead, it was the same boxes of government-marked printing papers. Meanwhile, still at the scene, the SunTeam overhead one of the onlookers claiming that papers were stolen from one of the Klerksdorp secondary schools. 

The provincial police spokeswoman, Lieutenant Colonel Amanda Funani, confirmed a case for possession of suspected stolen property where two men, aged 39 and 52, were arrested. 

They will appear at the Klerksdorp Magistrates Court soon.
