COPS in Limpopo arrested three suspects linked to burglary and fraud on Friday, 5 August.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Malesela Ledwaba, police were patrolling in Motetema at around 11.45am when they received information about a wanted suspect linked to burglary in the area.
“The suspect was traced and located at a certain car wash toward CS Barlow College. He was arrested on the spot,” Ledwaba said in a statement.
He said 30 minutes later, Limpopo Highway Patrol officers, who were patrolling around Groblersdal, received information about a suspiciously looking Toyota Corolla driving around the area.
“Members traced the said vehicle and it was spotted at Moteti village in Dennilton. The two suspects were approached and searched. Following preliminary investigations, the suspects were linked to two cases of fraud in the Dennilton policing area,” Ledwaba added.
He said the vehicle will be subjected to further investigations to determine its ownership and if it is connected to any criminal activities.
The trio, aged between 25 and 28, will soon appear before the magistrate courts in Motetema and Dennilton, respectively.
