The Cluster Commander for Graaff-Reinet, Brigadier Rudolph Adolph commended the outstanding efforts of our men in blue as they continue in their actions in 'taking back the streets' from criminals and gaining public confidence from the community they serve. As part of the SAPS vigilant back to basics approach to policing by members of the Graaff-Reinet Cluster, it resulted in the arrest of a 34-year-old male suspect for the possession of suspected stolen goods. Due to the swift action by members of Pearston this morning, Thursday, 14 June 2018 at 02:50, 160kg of mohair to the estimated value of R50 000 was recovered.
Members from SAPS Pearston were busy conducting high visibility patrols on the Klipplaatberg Road, Pearston when they noticed at about 02:50, a suspicious white Toyota Corolla travelling on the road, with one male occupant inside the vehicle. When the driver of the white Toyota Corolla noticed the police officials, he sped off in the direction of town. Police members gave chase and the driver of the vehicle was successfully pulled off the road in Prince Street, Pearston. Officials acted promptly and discovered two bags containing mohair inside the vehicle. The 34-year-old male was arrested and detained on a charge of possession of suspected stolen property and is due to appear in the Pearston Magistrate's Court tomorrow, Friday, 15 June 2018.
