Two men aged 42 and 37 will appear at the Carolina Magistrate’s Court today facing a possession of suspected stolen truck case.
Their appearance follows after they were found in possession of the truck in question by members of the South African Police Service at Badplaas after a tip off.
Information at police disposal suggests that in the early hours Sunday, January 6, five unknown men, some reportedly armed with firearms, pounced on a farm at Delmas. They reportedly broke into some farm buildings, took keys of four Mercedes-Benz trucks as well as a John Deere tractor, in the process kidnapped three farm employees and loaded them into one truck that they stole.
They drove with them (employees) until they decided to drop them at an unknown place. The tractor and the other three suspects are still being sought.
An appeal is made to anyone who may know the whereabouts of the other three suspects as well as the tractor, or be able to assist police in their investigation to contact Capt Samson Mokomene at 072 421 9274 or the SAPS Crime Stop number, 08600 10 111.
