The information was received after a 17 year old, grade 10 student (further details withheld) sent out images of an explosive via Watsapp (see picture 1). In a chat he informed friends that he intended on bombing a car. The Reaction Officers immediately gathered information on the location & identity of the student and made contact with the South African Police Service at King Shaka International Airport, SAPS Verulam & the Umhlali SAPS Dog Unit who made contact or provided details for bomb experts.
A Colonel from the SAPS Provincial Office in Kwazulu Natal was contacted telephonically and the Reaction Officer shared the information and images that were received.
