Police on Friday arrested three suspects in Brackenfell for possession of abalone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lieutenant Colonel Andr\u00e8 Traut from the Western Cape SAPS says the vigilance of police members on patrol in Kiewiet Street Okavango Business Park, Brackenfell on Friday paid off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three suspects aged 27, 27, and 37 were arrested for the possession of a large quantity of abalone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe vehicle of the suspects raised suspicion and prompted SAPS members to investigate. This led to the discovery of 40 boxes of dried abalone, possibly destined for export,\u201d says Traut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspects will be appearing in the Blue Downs court this morning for the illegal possession of abalone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traut says the exact value of the abalone is yet to be determined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
On Tuesday last week six people we arrested for abalone smuggling in Brackenfell and Milnerton. Police said the value of the abalone is estimated at several million rand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
