Col. Sergio Kock, police spokesperson, members of the police\u2019s Public Order Policing unit were busy with routine patrols, when at approximately 10:00 they spotted two suspicious looking males walking on the road at the Samaria informal settlement near the R64 Road in Kimberley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The suspects saw the approaching police members and dropped a plastic bag they were carrying. They fled into the informal settlement and escaped through the shanties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_9a23a6d0\">\n<div

amongst other rounds for a 9 mm, .22, 38-special, as well as hollow point rounds inside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two suspects who escaped were dark in complexion and were wearing blue overalls and yellow T-shirts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kock said the proliferation of firearms and ammunition remains a priority for the police, hence the police request that anyone with information about the suspects to immediately contact their nearest police station or utilise the MySaps app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police also request that the public do not approach these suspects as they are presumed to be armed and dangerous. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A total of 470 rounds of ammunition were seized on Tuesday, 23 January in

It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
