COPPER CABLE SUSPECTS REMANDED IN
CUSTODY
Nelspruit – on Thursday 26
February 2015, three suspects appeared before the Mdutshane Magistrate’s Court
in Siyabuswa following the discovery of suspected stolen copper cables.
The cables were discovered by Traffic
Officials who were on duty in Siyabuswa conducting routine roadworthy
inspection of a truck on Wednesday, 25 February 2015. It was then that they
noticed that it was loaded with cables which the three men could not give a
satisfactory response of its origin. The trio presented the officials with a
fraudulent permit to transport the cables.
The men, David Serothwane (57), Simon
Makgetlaneng (66) and Canias Mlambo (26), did not succeed to fool the diligent
officials. They were all escorted to the Siyabuswa Police Station where they
were arrested and charged with possession of stolen cables with an estimated
value of R250 000.
The case against the suspects was
remanded to 05 March 2015, for bail application.
