LIMPOPO – The Police in Motetema have cracked a possible crime syndicate in Tafelkop area at Dikgalaopeng village outside Groblersdal this weekend.
According to a statement issued by Police Spokesperson, Lt Col Moatshe Ngoepe, police members followed up on a tip-off received from local public about men offloading groceries at a local shop at midnight.
“Reacting to the tip-off, the police arrived at the said shop and found the duo busy offloading the stock. When the suspects failed to produce the necessary documents to prove the legality of these items, they were immediately arrested.”
