Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Two men were arrested in Vredenburg after allegedly being found with 302kg of copper cable belonging to Transnet, Western Cape police said.<\/p>\n

Police spokesperson Colonel Andr\u00e8 Traut said officers on patrol on Saturday night arrested the two at the R27 and R399 crossing in Vredenburg.<\/p>\n

“The members were on patrol duties at around 18:45 when their attention was drawn to a heavy-loaded Toyota Corolla.<\/p>\n

“The vehicle was stopped and searched, which led to the discovery of 302kg of copper cable, which was identified by a Transnet employee as property belonging to the transport utility, valued at around R91 000,” Traut said.<\/p>\n

The two, aged 43 and 46, were expected to appear in the Vredenburg Magistrate’s Court on Monday, charged with being in possession of stolen property.<\/p>\n
