Six men were on Thursday arrested by the Hawks after they were caught in busy processing gold bearing material.
The men aged between 20 and
62-years-old were found with gold worth about R50 000, a bottle of
mercury, gas bottles and R40 000 cash and were arrested in
Vereeniging.
Captain Paul Ramaloko said the men
are believed to be part of a bigger syndicate dealing in gold. This gold is believed to have been stolen Blyvooruitzicht.
Ramaloko added that they are hopeful
that this breakthrough will lead to more arrests.
The six suspects are appearing in
the Vereeniging Magistrate Court today
on charges of illegal possession of gold bearing material.
