Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi said the
suspects entered the mine after they approached the driver of a mining dump
truck who was on his routine trips to offload and pointed a gun on him.
Mulaudzi said the suspects allegedly
involved in the diamond heist mine were a group of plus minus 20 to 25 people
who went inside the mine and managed to steal about three diamonds with the
value of which has not yet been determined.
“The members from the mine managed to
arrest one person. Subsequent investigations by the Hawks lead to the arrest of
the other five which made the number of arrests to total six suspects” Mulaudzi
added.
Police are still searching for the diamonds
and the suspects are expected to appear in court soon.
