“The tracker signal directed police to the plot and, upon arrival, police found four men who, when they saw the police, tried to run away. The men were caught and arrested and the generator was recovered and handed over to the owner.”
All four suspects will soon appear in the Midrand Magistrates’ Court facing charges of possession of suspected stolen property.
