Three people heading to Zimbabwe from Cape Town have been
arrested with this loot - tower batteries and cell phones.
Police spokesperson Brigadier Motlafela Mojapelo said they
received intel about a Quantum with a trailer carrying six occupants, that was
travelling from the Eastern Cape to Zimbabwe.
“The vehicle was spotted along the R101 road at Shell
garage while refuelling and was taken to the nearby Weigh bridge to be
searched,” Mojapelo said.
He said upon arrival at the weigh bridge, the Quantum was
searched and cops found two hundred and seven brand new cellphones, five tower
batteries, three solar panels and two laptops to the value of R900 000 that
were concealed inside a trailer with luggage.
Cops confiscated the stolen items including the Quantum and
the trailer. The other three occupants were reportedly released because they
were just passengers travelling home and could not be linked to the stolen
items.
