<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nIt is alleged that a description of a getaway vehicle was
\ncirculated on all police communication radio channels. Moments later, members from Thornhill police
\nstation spotted a vehicle fitting the description travelling on the N2 at high
\nspeed and pursued it.\u00a0 A vehicle was
\nforced to pull off the road on the N2 near the Hankey off-ramp. The four
\noccupants were found in possession of new clothing items valued at R 8 200 from
\nvarious retail stores, most items still with security tags attached.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suspects could not account for the items and were
\narrested for possession of suspected stolen property,\u201d Nkohli said. <\/p>\n
\u201cPolice also impounded the vehicle for further
\ninvestigation. A fifth suspect was arrested by security officers outside the
\nliquor store in St Francis Bay with liquor valued at R 1 120, while attempting
\nto board a getaway vehicle.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\u201cThe five suspects, aged between 29 and 58 years, are due to
\nappear in the Humansdorp Magistrates Court on Monday, August 2, 2021, on
\ncharges ranging from shoplifting to possession of suspected stolen property,\u201d
\nhe added.<\/p>\n
Acting District Commissioner, Brig. John Lebok, commended
\nmembers for their swift response and the arrest. Police are urging shop owners
\nthat are using security tags not to allow bags wrapped in foils or covered with
\na duct tape in their businesses as a precautionary measure,\u201d Lebok added.<\/p>\n
