Swift action by shift members attached to Kimberley #SAPS, following information received about a silver bakkie travelling on the N12 towards Kimberley allegedly transporting stolen property, led to the arrest of three foreign nationals early on Friday morning, 10 April 2026.
The vehicle matching the description was spotted travelling on the N12 and was subsequently intercepted by police.
Members tactically approached the vehicle and ordered the occupants to disembark.
Upon searching the vehicle, police discovered several containers filled with diesel with an estimated value of R10 000.00.
The suspects failed to provide a satisfactory explanation regarding the possession of the diesel. The three suspects, aged 21, 29, and 36-years-old were arrested for possession of suspected stolen property and are expected to appear in the Kimberley Magistrate’s Court soon.
The Frances Baard District Commissioner, Major General Charlotte Makgari, welcomed the arrest and applauded the collaboration with other stakeholders and SAPS members for their unwavering commitment to ensuring that those involved in criminal activities are brought to justice during and beyond the Safer #Easter Operation Paseka in the district.
