“We have received a lot of conflicting information and the security company involved has not been forthcoming. We are just trying to determine the facts. We have received a lot of information and these searches are just to confirm that the tiger is not at any of the properties mentioned to us,” said Jade Nel, Edenvale SPCA secretary and former inspector.

Bedfordview and Edenvale News journalists are on the scene and reported that a search warrant executed at the first property on Lols Road yielded no results.
“We were met with a bit of resistance at the first property as the attorney was present when we arrived but eventually we were allowed in,” Nel said at the scene of the second property that is currently being searched.
