Provincial Detectives have launched a massive manhunt for two dangerous fugitives in connection with a series of trio crimes, including serious and violent crimes.
Preliminary police investigations revealed that the duo might be hiding in Pretoria in Gauteng.
“It is alleged that three suspects hijacked the victims, drove to the business partner’s homestead in Nkowankowa and robbed the victims of eight buckets of gold, with an estimated street value of R5 million as well as two cellphones, one of which was later recovered. They fled the scene with the woman and her son tied up in the boot of their vehicle,” Police spokesperson Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepehe explained.
