The 57-year-old man, who was nabbed on Tuesday, is expected
to appear in the Musina magistrate’s court on Thursday to face a charge of
contravening the Customs and Exercise Act.
“The arrest emanated after the police were on routine
patrol duties along the N1 North road,” said police spokesperson Mamphaswa
Seabi
Police at the Lebombo border post in Mpumalanga were
stunned to find a stolen bakkie concealed underneath a truckload of
"traditional brooms" ...
“The suspect was walking with other pedestrians when he was
spotted by the police while carrying a portable blue cooler bag and stopped
him.
“Police searched him and discovered a large amount of cash
packed inside the cooler bag the origin of which he failed to explain and was
immediately arrested.”
The cash, once counted, amounted to R165,060. “Preliminary
investigations at the scene revealed that the suspect was in the country
illegally and the money was not declared at the border post,” said Seabi.
