Paarl police arrested two suspects for the
possession of abalone worth an estimated street value of R4.1 million. Police spokesperson, Captain F.C van Wyk said
that at about 12:45 on Tuesday, members of Paarl SAPS spotted a silver
grey Land Rover at St. Francis Street in Northern Paarl. Van Wyk added that the
vehicle looked suspicious and the members decided to observe it. Upon
approaching the vehicle the two occupants fled the scene. An undisclosed amount of abalone was found in
the vehicle. The two suspects pursued on foot by SAPS members and was
apprehended.
Van Wyk said that further investigation led
them to a residence in the Northern Paarl area which was used as a processing
factory where several other equipment were found. The two suspects aged 26 and 29 will appear in
the Paarl Magistrates court once charged.
