KIMBERLEY \u2013 Vigilance and swift action displayed by Kimberley Visible Policing, put two suspects behind bars, subsequent to be found in possession of copper cables.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, 10 November 2022, members were busy conducting stop and searches and random crime prevention duties in the Kimberley Central Business District (CBD) when they spotted a vehicle parked near the local scrapyard in Cecil Sussman Road in Kimberley.<\/p>\n
The team tactically approached the vehicle and after searching it found copper weighing 68.0 kilograms inside.<\/p>\n
The suspects were put behind bars for failing to prove ownership of the cables. One of the suspect was found in possession of a licensed firearm.<\/p>\n
The vehicle was confiscated as it was instrumental in the commission of crime. They were charged for damaging essential infrastructure, under the Criminal Amendment Act.<\/p>\n
The duo are expected to appear in the Kimberley Magistrate\u2019s Court soon.<\/p>\n
The Northern Cape Provincial Commissioner, Lieutenant General Kolisa Otola applauded the Kimberley Visible Policing members for their vigilance and putting the suspects behind bars. This is a clear indication that more boots on the ground reaps success.<\/p>\n
