LIMPOPO – Three suspects were arrested for illegal possession of explosives during an intelligence led operation in in Mashishimale village outside Phalaborwa recently.
The Police received a tip-off from a local resident about the existence of the illegal explosives stored in a house within the village and responded immediately by activating up a joint sting operation composed of the Saps Namakgale ,the Crime Intelligent and the National Rhino 09 Unit.
The origin of these explosives is still being determined although it is believed that this might be linked to a business and armed robbery syndicate. Investigations continue and more arrests are expected soon.
The suspects aged between 26 and 46 will appear before the Namakgale Magistrate Court soon.
