Information from members of the public helped set an operation in motion while the team was on patrol in the Emsahweni area. They provided a description of a vehicle possibly linked to goat theft.

The vehicle was later spotted on the R603 near Fakazi, leading to a pursuit back towards Emsahweni. The suspect jumped out of the vehicle and ran, and backup was requested.

The operation resulted in three arrests, with two goats recovered from the boot of a white Toyota Etios.

ET Security personnel were involved alongside other role players, including the Stock Theft Unit. 

The vehicle was booked into SAP13 at Amanzimtoti SAPS, and a theft case was opened for the complaint, with the docket registered at KwaMakhutha SAPS. A charge under Section 2 of the Stock Theft Act was registered at Amanzimtoti SAPS.
