Eastern Cape police together
with the Hawks arrested three suspects aged between 33 and 56-years-old for
stealing and being in possession of R60 000 worth of tyres in Scenery
Park.
Police followed up on information
regarding stolen tyres which were being stored in a shack in the area.
Captain Stephen Marais said Police
closed in on the shack and arrested one suspect who was inside with all the alleged
stolen tyres. Thirty brand new tyres of
various sizes were recovered.
Marais said Police questioned
the 33-year-old suspect.
Marais said at about the same
time police received information that the blue Toyota Tazz was heading back to
the shack after delivering two Jeep Tyres.
Marais said Members from the
TRT swooped down on the vehicle and managed to arrest the two occupants inside
the vehicle aged 34 and 56 years.
Marais said the police learnt
the tyres were already sold and that the identified premise was a temporary
storage place for delivery to different buyers.
Marais said Police questioned
the suspects individually and obtained more information that can help break the
case.
Marais said the 56-year-old
suspect provided information to the police members about where he stole the
tyres from and has identified a tyre- business in East London.
“A happy owner recovered all
his stolen goods and the three suspects were charged and detained at Scenery
Park Police Station for possession of suspected stolen property Marais added.
