North West police commissioner Lt-Gen Sello Kwena on Sunday lauded the arrest of two police officers who have allegedly found themselves on the wrong side of the law.
One is a 28-year-old officer from Ganyesa, who is a member of the visible policing unit. He was arrested for stock theft. The other is from Orkney and faces a charge of defeating the ends of justice. “The suspects' court appearance emanated from their apprehension on Thursday after being found in possession of stolen cattle. Reports suggest the farm employee called and informed his employer about people who loaded the cattle from the farm.
“A search was launched by the Vryburg stock theft and endangered species unit in conjunction with the local farmers. As a result, a white Toyota Fortuner with a trailer loaded with five cattle was spotted and stopped not far from the farm on the Tlakgameng village gravel road. Following a preliminary investigation, the cattle were handed back to the lawful owner after being positively identified through brand marks and tags while the vehicle and the trailer were seized,” said Mogwabone.
