Members of the anti poaching unit of the
Organised Crime unit in KwaZulu Natal followed up on information about a
possibility of a poaching incident.
After police monitored the suspects movement,
seven people were arrested as they were about to enter a farm on which
allegedly would be where the poaching would have happened.
Colonel Ronel Otto explains that the suspects were
arrested after police received information about a possible poaching incident.
“During the arrest, members of the Police
confiscated three vehicles, a hunting rifle that was fastened underneath one of
the vehicles, an axe, as well as ammunition,” added Otto.
She furthermore
said that investigations to link these suspects to poaching incidents in the
Lulekani, Gravelotte and Kruger National Park areas are currently underway.
