Several security companies and police worked until close to midnight last night, Wednesday, 13 March, securing the scene of an accident in which a truck shed its load on Hendrik Potgieter Road.
According to BCI Security media liaison officer, Gary Jordaan, Hendrik Potgieter Road leading up to Cradlestone Mall had to be temporarily closed to prevent any looting of goods.

“Urgent assistance was requested as the local community was looting the truck carrying Coca-Cola destined for Botswana. Muldersdrift Police, Muldersdrift and Krugersdorp CPF members, BCI Security and other security services provided scene safety and security until the truck was pulled off the road,” Jordaan explained.
After the truck was removed, Jordaan said the local community was allowed to take the salvage stock, thus helping to clear the road. “One entrepreneur loaded the back of his bakkie with aluminium cans after the community had taken some of the cans that were still salvageable,” he said, describing the action at the scene.
