RUSTENBURG -Two men arrested in connection with theft of sheep worth R40 000 were due to appear in the Schweizer-Reneke Magistrate's Court on Thursday for a bail application hearing, North West police said.
Captain Aafje Botma said Mohau Maselo, 41, and Pitso Montwedi, 24, were arrested on 15 May during a crime prevention operation as part of rural safety strategy aimed at curbing stock theft and other crimes in the policing precinct of Schweizer-Reneke. "It is alleged that a suspicious GWM bakkie was spotted on Bloemhof-Schweizer-Reneke Road at approximately 2:15am. The police then followed the vehicle and ultimately stopped it in the Schweizer-Reneke Central Business District for a search.
"During the search, 13 sheep were found in the back of the bakkie, tied with wires and covered with a plastic. The occupants could not account for the sheep and were arrested for possession of presumably stolen goods," she said.Botma said further investigation into the matter led the police to a farm on the Bloemhof-Schweizer-Reneke Road where another 15 sheep were found tied up.
